My husband is starting a new job on monday after being out of work for 2 months. He has to be an independent contractor for the first 90 days, so no benefits, no paid days off, no taxes taken out, etc. He is going to make $50/hr, and when he asked them what they would give him after the 90 days they just said they'd discuss it then.
He may be fine with that but I'm not. He already took a large pay cut in taking this job (was paid $110K w/benefits, now $50/hr no benefits). Does anyone know what salary we should expect that they're going to be offering? All I could find was on salary.com they had a calculator that came to $80K/yr salary converts of $50/hr w/no benefits, but this calculation was from 2002. I couldn't find anything else besides that.
I've told him that he needs to find this out ASAP, and that their answer isn't acceptable because in 3 months he could find that they're offering far less than even what we're expecting (in which case he will be looking for a new job pronto). Thanks!
