How do day laborers work?

17. of course it is illegal

Taxes need to be paid. Records need to be kept. Even timecards need to be kept for some years (2?).

Plus there are things like worker's compensation if someone gets hurt. Time and a half for overtime or holidays, not to mention safety when it comes to working conditions and scheduled breaks.


There is a limit on casual labor. I would need to look it up but I think it is something like $300.00 a year per employee. This day labor crap is just one more way to exploit workers.


This is just one reason why we need immigration reform. Those people deserve the benefits that being legally employed would bring. They, and the people employing them, also need to contribute into the tax pool their fair share.
