About Worker Misclassification Claims
Worker misclassification claims arise when employers incorrectly classify workers as independent contractors or exempt employees to avoid providing benefits, overtime pay, or other legal protections. Misclassification deprives workers of wage protections, unemployment insurance, and workers' compensation coverage. Courts use various tests to determine proper classification.
