Sometimes they're required to institute changes in their accounting, banking, and security procedures before they'll be allowed to bid on or can be awarded subcontracts. -- JF

I guess what I am trying to say is >that the definition of "control" in this case is a little too fluid to >be argued either way. --- I would argue that we _are_ controlled by our employers during the time we're performing our duties as specified in our contracts. For example, If I hire a technician and specify the working hours required and the behavior expected while on the job, the technician must agree to be bound by those restraints in order to be hired, and that binding is control. I don't know if it's still true, but AIUI during the earlier days of WAL-MART, managers, who were making excellent money for the time were not allowed to spend over a certain amount for their houses and cars. One final example is that if a US firm wants to do business with the US Department of Defense, then the government will pretty much tell you how they want you to run your business if you want to do business with them. I've asked T Wake to explain how your NHS works, but perhaps you could also explain? I'm particularly interested in the relationship between your government and your NHS and how the funding works. -- JF |
