Many companies in California illegally classify their workers as 1099 independent contractors when they should be W-2 employees. These companies underpay wages, refuse to provide benefits, transfer costs to workers, and deny their workers various protections. Misclassified workers are often entitled to significant overtime compensation if they work more than 8 hours per day. They are also entitled to penalties for missed meal and rest breaks, among other things. Common types of misclassified workers include: janitors, maids, construction workers, health workers, cooks, truck drivers, loading dock workers, and more.
Misclassification of workers is illegal and the amount of money owed to misclassified workers can be significant.
