I second this request for discussion. Over the past 7 years we've accumulated contractors working regularly from 10+ countries. The complexities of sending/receiving payment with contractor status (and other employment ambiguities) are significant.


@tzickles: do you mind me asking how you're handling it now? Is it all do-it-yourself?


link? would love to read!


I don't know the article, but there are many sources for the individual claims, e.g.:

* Denver is at 5,130–5,690 ft (1,564–1,731 m) [0]

* The boiling point of water at this altitude is between 201 and 203 °F; at sea level it is 212 °F [1]

* "Your brewer should maintain a water temperature between 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction. Colder water will result in flat, under-extracted coffee, while water that is too hot will also cause a loss of quality in the taste of the coffee." [2]

I saw this at Boxcar last time I was in Denver -- a couple articles about their setup:

Funny I was just looking for a solution like this and wasn't able to find anything.

I'm confused on why the pricing is a monthly price per learner.

With our internal training we have a set amount of information to communicate to our team. Once they've learned it, they're not going to need to go back to it regularly. It's a one and done situation and wouldn't make sense to continue paying after a team member has learned the info. Why would it make sense for anybody to pay a monthly fee per learner?

Maybe I'm just confused on the market you're going for and how it works.
