Job Misclassification

When “employees” are misclassified as independent contractors, instead of employees, no one wins. Workers who are independent contractors are not entitled to unemployment benefits, medical insurance, social security, FMLA or vacation, workers’ compensation and other important benefits. In addition, in some industries like construction, employers pay workers cash wages “under the table” – allowing them to avoid their legal obligations like minimum wage, overtime, prevailing wage, and more.
