Independent Contractor Agreement
Texas
Employee vs. contractor: What are the legal distinctions?
I am a small business owner in the tech industry and I am currently in the process of hiring individuals to work on various projects. I am confused about the legal distinctions between an employee and a contractor and how it may impact my business. I want to ensure that I am classifying workers correctly to avoid any potential legal issues and to understand the rights and responsibilities associated with each classification.
Darryl S.
This is an important distinction and has both financial and legal implications. Independent contractors do not get overtime, benefits or workers compensation and thus are generally cheaper to hire and easier to fire than an employee who does get these benefits. The IRS and Department of Labor use multi-factor tests examining control, financial aspects, and the relationship's nature—key indicators include whether you provide tools/equipment, set specific hours, integrate the worker into your business operations, or maintain an ongoing relationship versus project-based work. Given the complexity and high stakes of worker classification in the tech industry, where the line between employee and contractor is frequently blurred, I strongly recommend consulting with an employment attorney who can review your specific situation and help establish proper classification procedures. Additionally, consider having workers sign clear agreements that reflect their true working relationship and maintain documentation supporting your classification decisions.

Employee or "independent contractor"
Hello, I'm starting a janitorial company. and I'm trying to keep my cost down. as of right now i will be doing all the "cleanings" if i get to over whelm i might need help for one or two gigs which would be 8 hrs or 16 hrs every two weeks if that. so i wanted to see if in California if im able to get help and have them come in as a independent contractor?
Alen A.
Hi there, In California, workers are presumed to be employees UNLESS a company can prove ALL THREE of the following: 1) Control: Worker is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact; 2) SCOPE: The worker perform work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity's business; and 3) TRADE: The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation or business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed. AB5 does list occupations that are exempt from the test above but your occupation isn't one of them. I would need more information to give you legal advice but based on your question, you will not likely be able to have them as independent contractors.

Employment Agreement
California
Are non-competes enforceable in California?
I live in CA and work for an east coast company. I have an old employment agreement from ~2006 that has a non-compete clause. Is that enforceable in CA?
Paul S.
No, it's not. California has a very strict law against non-competes, and views those as illegal restraints on trade. Pretty much the only scenario in which a non-compete will be enforceable in California is in connection with the sale of a business.

Acceptable Use Policy
Georgia
Can I be held legally responsible for violating an Acceptable Use Policy?
I work for a large technology company and recently discovered that I unintentionally violated our company's Acceptable Use Policy by using company resources for personal purposes. Although I did not realize this was against the policy, I'm concerned about potential legal consequences and whether I can be held personally liable for any damages or disciplinary actions as a result of this violation.
Sara S.
Hi, Your employee handbook may have the answer to this and is worth a review with a qualified attorney. Attorneys skilled in intellectual property may be able to give you more insight as well.

Employment Severance Agreement
New York
I need advice on a severance package
I believe I was discriminated against due to disabilities. Reasonable accommodations were submitted on two separate occasions. My supervisor and HR rep mishandled the situation and I was eventually terminated. I was offered a severance in exchange for me not during them. I have documentation, communication, and recorded conversations and I'm finishing up writing out a timeline. I was offered a years salary and would like to negotiate more.
Orin K.
Hi, it sounds like your employer may have real concerns if they've offered one year of severance. That's higher than the offers I usually see. There is always potential to negotiate something higher, but I would not be able to counsel on specifics without fully reviewing all the facts of your situation. Please feel free to contact me through the ContractsCounsel site if you would like to discuss further.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
