Independent Contractors

Although an employer classifies an individual as an “independent contractor”, instead of an employee, that individual may have legal claims as an independent contractor or for being misclassified as an independent contractor. Many times individuals are required to sign agreements to be an independent contractor when in fact their job duties and responsibilities are directed and controlled by the employer. Even if the individual is labeled an “independent contractor”, that individual still has legal rights under the various discrimination and employment laws.

If you feel you have been classified or identified as an independent contractor, you may have legal rights. Contact our office immediately.
