Employment Legal Questions and Answers

How to make a contract to keep IC status ? We are getting audited by SF. Thank you!!
I just changed to independent contractor last year after all my dental friends advised me to do so. Now the office I work at is being audited so I’m wondering what I need to do in order to keep the IC? Thank you !
Gregory B.
In general, contract terms can make someone an employee, but cannot ensure independent contractor status. Essentially, the contract can set out IC terms, but if those terms are not followed in practice, the contract itself can't fix that. Under California AB, there is an exemption for dentists from the strict "ABC" test, but dentists will still need to meet a number of other requirements that are often, in practice, difficult to meet. For example, they would have to be "open to the public" and actually performing the same of similar services for others - so working for a single dental office typically will not pass the test!

How to end an employment contract?
I am currently an employee with an employment contract, but I am considering terminating my employment due to various reasons such as a breach of contract, a hostile work environment, or a desire to pursue other opportunities. However, I am unsure of the legal requirements and consequences of ending the contract before its specified end date. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to better understand the steps involved in terminating an employment contract and to ensure that I am protected legally.
Donya G.
Connecticut is an "at will" state which means employers in the private sector can end the employment for no reason at all or without notice. This should be the same for an employee, however, most people give an industry standard of about 2 weeks when leaving. It will depend on the employment agreement that you signed. The agreement will have to be reviewed and you would need to be advised based on your agreement. I can assist you with that. You can find me on the website and engage my services. Donya Gordon

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.

What's position hierarchy in an employment contract?
I am a potential employee considering a job offer from a company. I have received a copy of the employment contract, but I am confused about the position hierarchy outlined in it. Specifically, I am unsure of the differences between the various job titles and the roles and responsibilities associated with each one. I would like to know more about the position hierarchy in the contract to better understand the job I am considering.
N'kia N.
Position hierarchy may vary, as it is typically based on such factors as industry standards, company size, and internal policies. Before accepting an employment offer, a prospective employee should have a clear understanding of where the proposed position stands in the prospective employer's position hierarchy, as well as how the hierarchy affects the duties and responsibilities for that position. If the position hierarchy in a proposed employment contract or an employment offer letter is confusing, the prospective employee should seek clarification from the proposed employer.

Can I file an EEOC complaint for workplace discrimination based on my disability?
I have been working at my current job for several years and recently I have been facing discrimination from my supervisor due to my disability. Despite providing all necessary documentation and accommodations, my supervisor has been consistently undermining my work, excluding me from important meetings, and making derogatory comments about my disability. I am now considering filing an EEOC complaint, but I am uncertain about the process and if I have a strong case.
Christopher N.
Short answer: Yes. There are some siginficant deadlines (180 days and up to 300 days) you will need to meet, forms to fill out, and a venue to choose (California law vs. Federal law). Without more specific it is difficult to give you specifics, Thus, given the deadlines and the specifics of your case, I HIGHLY recommend you speak with an employment lawyer very quickly to fully understand where you in the timline, what you will need to prove, and where to file -- and more importantly, if you have a case. Good luck.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
