a real quick look at Georgia's statutes appears to support the fact that licensing is required. If true, OP cannot legally collect unless he has the proper licensing. This is not his bill he is collecting, it is the company's that he is contracted to.
I think you answered a question for me. I actually felt bad when the companies I was at let people (subcontractors, or 'reps") when they changed to a new business model, but after this discussion, I can see why it's important to get a clean start with a whole new crew.

I recall one company I was with was going around and around in circles with these guys, "yes you're a subcontactor", and "no I'm not", and yeh, "we never had to do this before", just as you mentioned above. They should've just called these guys in and terminated them. No discussion.

Before see say "I can see where you're going with this", I'm currently involved in a "unemployment claims" case, where a worker refused to stay 20 to 30 minutes with a disabled client, wind up quitting over it, and been fighting with us for months, right now appealing the decision against her. Sh'e been out of work since March.

Like the above situations, she's citing all kinds legal reasons where we're wrong, screwing her out of 20 minutes, and spending months on legal research. Yet, she can't even spend the 20 minutes waiting with the "disabled client" for the handicapped bus to arrive. If she did, she would've been working the last eight months.

Where am I going with this, and what does one have to do with the other?? Too many people just focus at NARROW legal issues and just miss the big picture.
