Please contact us for a free evaluation using the form on this page, or call us at 424-245-5505.

Independent Contractors Can Be Employees
EVEN IF YOU SIGNED an Indepedent Contractor agreement, you may be an employee under the law and owed back wages. Drivers in this situation could be owed money from their employer for overtime and penalties that could add up to a large amount of money. If you’ve been a driver in this situation, we would like to investigate your case. Contact us NOW as each state has limited time to make a claim.

How An Indepedent Contractor Automatically Becomes an Employee

An independent contractor can become an employee automatically if the employer has a large amount of control over the driver’s working life. By law, an independent contractor is supposed to be able to control how they provide their services to the person or business that hired them. An independent contractor is usually able to dictate how they operate, except as stated otherwise in a contract between the independent contractor and the person or business. But if the employer takes over these roles, it looks more like an employee and the law will treat the driver as an employee for things like overtime, penalties to the employer and rest breaks.  You can discuss your employment situation and problems by contacting us — fill out the form on this page or call 424-245-5505.
