Independent Contractors Attorney in Irvine, CA

Independent Contractors Overview

Employment Lawyers in California Helping Employees Fight Independent Contractor Violations

There are many benefits to both parties when it comes to independent contract arrangements. For the employer, a significant cost savings comes with not having to pay benefits and not being obligated to pay workers during times when the workload is low. For the contractors themselves, there is greater personal freedom and the potential to maintain other working projects at the same time.

The problems come in when employers violate contractors' rights, taking the independence out of independent contracting.

The law firm of Marlin & Saltzman, LLP is a prominent California employment law firm. Our employment attorneys can help you defend your rights and get the best possible outcome out of your employment law case.

When Employers Take the Independence Out of Independent Contracting

Independent contractors do not get the salary and other benefits that full-time employees get. Their biggest benefit, however, is their independence. Employers violate independent contractors' rights by:

• Forcing you to stay available for projects: When your continued employment is conditional on your being available all the time, even during times when no employment is available through the company, it is a violation of your rights as a contractor.
• Limiting your right to pursue other employment options: Controlling your workday so that you are unable to pursue other employment options is another form of taking the independence out of independent contracting.

If you are being treated like a full-time employee – with all the expectations of loyalty and availability that a salaried employee experiences – but you are still being paid as a contractor, we can help you get the compensation you deserve.
