SB 1077 - new laws for owner builders

[DanielP]

That is the law most places and protects the workers as with any employee you pay as an employer. Cash under-the-table is just ripping off the worker. Most of those guys can't afford to hire someone else to build their houses like you can. Why shouldn't you pay into their Social security and worker's comp? Won't they need SS someday and what if they are injured or crippled on your project? Tough luck?
Construction workers get beat up physically over a lifetime of low wage jobs.
If you are tuly an owner/builder then why is the someone else there doing the building?

Been there
