The subject today is 1099’ed workers. This is for California employees with labor law and employment law claims. This is a question the office has been getting:
Maybe. If you wrongly were given 1099, you might get benefits. In 2019, California Legislature passed legislation which made many workers to be classified as employees when they previously were 1099’ed independent contractors.
If you feel that you are truly an employee and should receive benefits, make a claim with the Employment Development Department. You can do this through their website.
You might also have a civil claim for being denied the benefits of employment, such as overtime pay, etc.
Your job is more than just a source of income. It is a major part of your lifestyle. If you have been the victim of wrongful termination, wrongful demotion or any kind of discriminatory business practices, it is time to take action and contact a Ventura employment law attorney that can help. Attorney Matthew A. Kaufman and the team at The Kaufman Law Firm bring experience and a vast arsenal of legal resources to help clients recover the money they deserve.
