What is Independent Contractor Misclassification?
Independent contractor misclassification occurs when employers incorrectly classify employees as contractors. Employers often misclassify workers in an attempt to avoid paying overtime, minimum wage, or payroll taxes.
Additionally, contractors lack many of the same protections and benefits provided to employees in California. For example, contractors do not get the same protections for rest breaks, meal periods, and workers’ compensation coverage. Contractors also do not have the right to join a union, take family leave, or get unemployment coverage.
Employee misclassification is a type of fraud. If you believe your employer engaged in this illegal activity, reach out to us right now for help.

What’s the Difference Between an Employee and an Independent Contractor?
Most workers in California are considered employees. Workers are only considered independent contractors if they pass the ABC test. Basically, workers are only independent contractors if:
- They work without the direction or control of a hiring entity or employer.
- They perform work tasks that are outside the usual course of an entity’s business.
- They are typically engaged in an independent business, occupation, or trade that aligns with the work they’re performing for an entity.
Our team can give you more information about the ABC test and review your situation to see if you qualify as an employee or independent contractor.
