Consistently Producing Favorable
Outcomes for Our Clients
As a worker in New York, you are protected by strict labor laws that pertain to how and when you perform your job, compensation and more. The specific benefits and protections that you enjoy largely depend on how you are classified by your employer. Most commonly, workers fall into one of two categories: independent contractors (1099 workers) and employees. As an independent contractor, you have the autonomy to make your own schedule, advertise your services and more. However, 1099 workers are responsible for paying taxes out of pocket and are not entitled to overtime, guaranteed minimum wage, workers’ compensation or unemployment benefits. If you are thinking to yourself, ‘how to know if I am being misclassified as a 1099 worker’ look no further. At Tempus Fugit Law, we specialize in helping members of the local workforce determine their status so they can effectively exercise their rights.
Get the legal insight you need to make effective career decisions and protect your livelihood.
We understand that the specific nature of each worker's relationship with their employer is unique. Even so, determining whether you are an employee or 1099 worker can usually be accomplished by looking out for a few red flags. You can begin by carefully examining your relationship with your employer. Do they exert control over the specifics of your job execution? Is your work a core component of their business activities? Do the tasks they assign differ from the independent business you operate? Do you lack benefits like health insurance, paid leave or retirement plans that are typically provided to employees? You may be misclassified as a 1099 worker if you answered yes to any of these questions. Our legal team can investigate further to provide a reliable answer and enforce your rights accordingly.
