If you are using your own equipment and resources, how are you an employee and not a contractor? Businesses should compensate because the agreement is the business uses their capital and your labor to make money. But if they also use your capital in addition to your labor, then the employee needs ownership of the business because they are devoting their capital to the business.

Fails ABC test. They get to tell you what to do etc. Makes you an employee not a contractor. Already established.

Exactly. Except now you're an employee who is often expected to furnish your own workspace out of pocket, up to and including computers, sometimes.

Companies want it both ways.
