Overtime for 1099 Independent Contractors
Report
More than 19% of independent contractors in the construction industry are misclassified. Misclassification of employees happens across various professions where organizations prefer to outsource their core businesses to "independent contractors." Many employers in Long Beach and the larger California state misclassify employees as independent contractors to circumvent their responsibilities towards their employees.
Meal and Rest Breaks for 1099 Independent Contractors
Report
Under California's labor laws, 1099 independent contractors do not have a right to meal and rest breaks. These labor laws have caused many employers in Long Beach to misclassify their employees as independent contractors for them to avoid providing them with meal and rest breaks. By misclassifying them, they reap huge profits since they reduce their management and production costs.
Wrongful Termination for 1099 Independent Contractors
Report
Wrongful termination claims arise from situations that involve employees firing their employees without a valid reason. The Workers Compensation Group in Long Beach helps 1099 independent contractors (among other employees), to file such claims. Courts allow plaintiffs to bring such lawsuits, provided they have a legal basis.
Overtime for Salaried or Exempt Workers
Report
Every year, several California exempt employees are victims of overtime laws violations made by their employers. For instance, the biggest assumption employers make is that any salaried/exempt worker is not eligible for overtime pay. This is not the case. A significant number of salaried workers are either non-exempt or do not fall within the specific exemptions stipulated in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
California Meal and Rest Break Law
Report
Rest breaks are a mandatory requirement by the California Labor Code, and all employers must adhere to these guidelines or risk getting into legal trouble. Temporary and permanent workers must familiarize themselves with these laws and any amendments. This understanding will save them from being taken advantage of by unscrupulous employers in the state.
