Very much. Unfortunately, we'd really need to factor in stuff like owned stock (all of it) and property valuation. Oh, sorry, what's that, you earned way more just in stock price increases and dividends than the total income limit relative to that 10 hour a week part timer? You get to pare that portfolio way down, buddy, or start handing out those raises.
On the other side, contractors would need to be considered exactly the same as employees for the sake of the calculations (or significantly harsher, honestly, given the way a contractor has to handle so much more out of what they get paid)... otherwise they'd just go Uber/Lyft with the staffing to get around the income restrictions.
