About Independent Contractor Law: Independent contractors work for themselves and earn their living from their own businesses, instead of relying on anyone else to provide a salary for them. They are also known as entrepreneurs, consultants, freelance workers, or self-employed. 

What Independent Contractor Lawyers can do for you: Employers often improperly classify their employees as independent contractors to avoid paying certain taxes, overtime, reimbursing for business expenses and not paying benefits. When determining whether you are an independent contractor, consider these factors:

• How much control does your employer exercises over your work? 
• Does your employer supply you with the necessary tools and places to perform your work?
• Do you have a set schedule or are you free to establish your own schedule?

Contact an employment lawyer if you have been misclassified by your employer as an independent contractor because you may be entitled to unpaid wages. Contacting an employment lawyer is a good idea since a lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve. Your lawyer can also advise you if you are being misclassified as an employee and if so, give costly penalties to employers.
