Employee Vs Independent Contractor

Whether a worker is an independent contractor is defined by law and is not determined by the parties’ agreement or whether an employee receives a 1099, a tax document normally given to independent contractors.

An employer may misclassify an employee as an independent contractor for many reasons. An employer is not required to pay independent contractors minimum wage, overtime pay, or provide them other entitlements under state and federal laws. The determination whether the worker is properly categorized as an employee or independent contractor is very fact-specific.

To navigate the complex statutes regarding payment of wages, an employee needs to speak to an experienced attorney who is familiar with the law in this area. The attorneys of Lavi & Ebrahimian, LLP are experienced in investigating, negotiating, and litigating wage and hour lawsuits on a class action basis and on an individual basis.
