INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS

The United States Department of Labor recently announced the creation of a task force assigned with investigating companies that wrongly classify employees as independent contractors. Companies misclassify in order to avoid paying payroll taxes, benefits, overtime and other wages. If you are called an independent contractor, and you have a set schedule, are supervised by the company and use their supplies, such as computers, you may be misclassified.
