BTW - If you are an employee of a company ... there are no legal charge backs.
The only way a company can hand an employee a "chargeback" is if you sign a document allowing a payroll deduction. YOU have to give them documented permission to deduct money from your paycheck. If you are a direct employee of the company, you have protections. They have to get your signature on the dotted line to deduct from payroll. Not signing is not a condition of employment either. If any employer tells you "No sign, No job", then what he is doing is illegal. Labor lawyers will chew his ass up and down.
I got called in to sign one once. ONCE.
Supervisor told me to sign. I refused. He said if I didn't sign, I'd lose my job. I stood up, thanked him for his information then told him to go check with the company attorney and get back with me. I told him I'll be more than happy have it in writing why I'm being terminated, but I wanted him to check with the company lawyer before he fired me. I left the room that Thursday and went back to work with my money still in my pocket. Monday ... I had a pay-raise, a field promotion, and an apology from the Operations Manager for what the supervisor had attempted to do. In a round-about-non-direct-way he basically asked that I not share what I knew about labor law with the others. Thank God I left that shop not long there after. I refuse to work for a contractors anymore. Just too many trying to rip off techs.
1099/sub is just a neon-sign telling Primes: "Rape Me if I'm new and know nothing"
Being an employee, if you're new to the industry, is the safest way to learn how Primes and Subs operate.
Good Luck with it.
