Regarding this and all the other "group insurance" deals that have been
discussed here, I've been told that these sorts of deals are about the
worst possible bargains. By being written as group insurance they're
subject to none of the safeguards placed on indivudla insurance policies,
nor do you have the backing of a big company behind you to make sure
that you really are covered.  I've heard of any number of tatics
being used to weed out "undesirable" clients (i.e., anyone who makes a
serious claim).

Many contractors find it difficult to deal with job shops.  However, at
some time or another everyone does.  What most contractors do not take
into account is just how much overhead a job shop actually has.  For a
first approxamation, if a job shop pays you $40/hr then they must bill
the client ~$49/hr to break even.  This is because of insurance, taxes,
office expense, local, state and federal paperwork and other direct
costs not to mention 7.5% to Social Security.  Using the numbers you
mentioned, which are valid, the job shop actually needs to bill at least
$55/hr for this contract to make a profit.  If the shop has an active
fulltime marketing person they will bill $60/hr.  What the contractors
don't understand is why there is such a difference in the billable rate
and what they get. 

The job shop is responsible to pay its employees every two weeks even if
the client is a late pay.  This means that typically the shop is three
pay checks out of phase with the income.  Our shop maintains a sizable
kitty to take care of this but one shop I worked for years ago had to
borrow $200K at prime rate every two weeks to make payroll.  This was
obviously a sizable expense but very common. 

As a final point on the difference between client billable rate and rate
paid to the individual, most large companies account for employee
overhead at 150 to 250 percent of annual pay.  When they bill out your
services via the work you perform for them they charge it at 200 to 900
percent.  Common MIS chargeback amounts for MIS services are $900 to
$1200 per day and this is for internal chargeback.
