NYC’s Freelance Isn’t Free Act

I Love Steno Logo (Cropped)A new bill seeking to protect freelance workers was recently introduced to New York’s City Council.

According to Crain’s New York, the bill (Freelance isn’t Free Act) proposes that a person (or entity) who hires a freelancer to do work that is valued at more than $200 would be required to sign a written contract setting a payment deadline, along with other agreed upon terms. Failure to meet the payment deadline would result in double damages, payment of attorney’s fees, and possibly a steep fine.

If passed, the bill would be an amendment to the New York city charter, and the administrative code of the city of New York.

Steno Gadgets & Accessories: Lines Of Text Ruler

Magnifying Ruler
Lines of Text Ruler
Rulers with inches divided into tenths are not that common. However, such a tool is necessary when measuring margins for Case CATalyst settings.

Previously, when I needed to measure margins, I would use a paper ruler that as divided into the increments I needed. The paper ruler is on a page that is included in a Case CAT instruction manual I used in school. (I think the Case CAT program also came with a flexible ruler that can be used to measure margins.) However, I found a sturdier option.

The Westcott ruler I found was less than $5. It is a happily added addition to my steno gadgets and accessories.
