One of the laws is overtime pay, anything over 40 hours.

Second is health care...partially paid by the employer and if a person is a full-time employee those can be deducted pre-tax. Of course a person has the right and ability to opt out of that altogether if they choose to do so.
I usually don't like to say everything that comes out of my mouth is a fact so I could be wrong, but every company that I have ever worked for offered these benefits to full-time employees. Part-timers did not get them.

Sub-contracting is not the way to go unless there is a vehicle allowance ($400.00 a month), Per-mile fuel reimbursement and BIG money jobs involved....
