But companies don't set the pay for contractors, they pay contracting firms a lump sum for services. And contracts are basically every single service the company may need, whether business related or unrelated like gardening, trash pick up, snow removal, etc.
If a company hires an outside company to come pick up their garbage, do the garbage men also count? What happens when they switch vendors, do they report that back to the government? What happens if the outside firm gives their employees a raise? Does that get reported back to the main company, who then informs the government?
What if they hire an outside firm for only 1 month, does that count?
Who tracks all this? How does it get reported to the government?
That sounds like a massive regulatory mess and burden which of which the cost will be passed to customers.
