Because chintzing your full-time employees by calling them "contractor" and denying benefits is against the law.

“Full-time” is misleading noise here; the employee/contractor classification distinction doesn't hinge on term (temp/permanent) or time base (full/part time). Its true that some shops only bring contractors in for one side of one of those divides, but that's not what defines the status (or what defines who can be assigned each status.)
