Your idea is one of the specific reasons many companies try to label everyone as an "independent contractor". Especially people like voice actors are not "employees", and thus do not count as such for your idea.

Yeah, and unions would change that. Negotiating to ensure that people are hired as full-time employees with benefits, not as independent contractors or consultants with no rights, and finally be treated as human beings.
