Template talk:Staff and contractors
== Template architecture ==
=== Pros ===
* Very easy to change positioning
* Easy to update all translations simultaneously
* May be easier for some to translate (clearer flow than all the wikitext)

=== Cons ===
* May be harder for ''some'' to translate
(contracted; show full)with Tim: I'm not sure any labels are necessary here. What problem are these (sidenotes) attempting to solve? Could it be solved in another way (e.g., but listing in which country the person is working)? Without objection, I'm inclined to remove all of the sidenotes. I think the current page title is fine ("Staff and contractors"), however. (Or at least I'm unable to come up with a better one.) --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 00:44, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

:The issue is one of legal status with regards to various government organizations (the IRS, the California board of employment, etc.).  Each of these agencies has a set of criteria by which employees are checked to determine if they are, in truth, ''not'' contractors but actually full-time employees.  One of those criteria is "is the employee listed on a staff directory and not explicitly called out as a contractor."  Obviously, those who are contracting with us ''as contractors'' must be called out. <br />The monkeywrench is for employees who are located outside of the United States.  These are people who we want to call "full time employees" - because they are, there are requisition numbers for them.  However, they are ''technically'' contractors because we don't have offices in those countries.  Since referring to them as "contractor" is not a legal requirement, but we do need to indicate that they are not an FTE (for tax purposes, I think), we call them "International".<br />I hope that explains it.--[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm|talk]]) 20:09, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
