Meet The RMO Agency Team
We’ve started a new video series, Meet The RMO Agency Team. In this first video we touch on What You Should Know About RMO Agency.
CSLB Board Meeting - San Diego
Gal Bigaleizn and Cher Danley from RMO Agency attended the quarterly CSLB Board meeting in San Diego in August. These meetings are open to the public and cover essential topics in the construction industry.
This is a great opportunity for contractors to get their voice heard and find out what the board is currently working on.
Bill SB 216 (Dodd) – Require workers compensation coverage for additional license classification holders: C-8 Concrete, C-20 HVAC, C22 Asbestos Abatement and D-49 Tree service (in addition to the already required C39 Roofing) starting in 2023 and from ALL licensed contractors (all other classification) by 2026.
Honest contractors are needed to re-build after the fire in Paradise, CA! Homeowners are hiring unlicensed subcontractors and also paying a higher price per square foot. If you or any honest contractor are able to take work in Paradise California, many homeowners need their homes re-built!
The Pros of Being A Contractor Over Being An Employee
The world is changing and how people work and do business is changing with it. The “gig economy” has increased over the last few years with about 35% of the US workforce having freelanced in 2019. So what are the benefits of being a contractor over being an employee?
The potential to earn more. Working as your own boss offers more control over the hourly rate or per-project price being charged to clients. This means that, over time, someone can earn more as a qualified contractor than if he or she was working for a construction company as an employee.
More freedom on and off the job. Qualified contractors get to choose which clients they want to work with. This can make for a much more enjoyable work environment. Additionally, qualified contractors have more freedom in scheduling and taking time off when needed.
A flexible career path. Those who work as contractors get to design their career path, from the jobs they work on to the people they choose to work alongside. Also, there may be more flexibility in where they work, and whether projects are large, small, residential, or commercial. Qualified contractors get to make these decisions on their own without being tethered to anyone else.
Being a contractor starts with having your license. Call us now and get on the path to getting your license the fastest legal way possible.
