Independent contractors are not treated the same as employees. While independent contractors have more freedom in their work, they also lack some of the protections enjoyed by traditional employees, such as workers' compensation and unemployment benefits. They are also responsible for paying their own taxes directly to the Internal Revenue Service from the first dollar, since their taxes are not withheld by the business that is paying them. If you have a question as to whether you should work as an independent contractor or as an employee, contact an experienced employment law attorney today to discuss your situation.
Employment Law Information for Employees
Even though employment is considered to be "at-will" in California, you have certain rights.
You cannot be fired, disciplined or denied a promotion due to discrimination or for reporting wrongdoing such as sexual harassment by your employer or another employee. If you have suffered an adverse personnel action for these or other reasons, you may be entitled to compensation for past and future earnings, emotional distress and attorney's fees.
