Employee Conversion at West Corporation

West Corporation is a business that contracts with other businesses to provide customer service for them. Once upon a time ago a person could contract with West and work from home, but that was before West decided to make contractors into employee's.

The conversion from contractor to employee has been a very ugly one. Most contractors have known about the cross over for a couple of months now ,but no one is quite sure if they will make the cut. What makes West decide which states or areas of states to hire from is a huge mystery. To this date, hundreds of wonderful contractors have been cut loose from a job. At first it was thought that it was due to minimum wages of each state, now it doesn't seem to be that. Other ideas have been things from workers compensation, union or no union states, different laws and taxes with-in some cities; but that is all just speculation as no one really knows the real answer.

The people who have been contracted with West for working at home are handicapped, some house wives wanting to help out with the house-hold budget and some use this as a full time job. Just recently, instead of giving any warning to their contractors, West decided to just lock some workers from being able to log into the required sites to look at their stats or pick up any hours; while some contractors did receive an email stating they will no longer have a position as of September 10th. Some were invited to apply as an employee and they jumped through all of the hoops that West required of them just to later be rewarded with another email about terminating their position with West.
