Can 1099 Workers Get Overtime? What Can I Do if I have been Called an Independent Contractor (Paid on a 1099) When I Should be Deemed to be an Employee (w-2 Worker?) Pennsylvania Employment Lawyers Explain

Only Employees Paid on a w-2 Basis Are Entitled to Overtime - However, So Called "Independent Contractors" Can Be Reclassified as a w-2 Employee Under State and Federal Laws Protecting Pennsylvania Employees



                                            Earned Overtime but Not Paid for it Because 
                                    You Have Been Misclassified as an Independent Contractor?

1099 workers (i.e. independent contractors) are not entitled to overtime pay.  However, it is a common practice for employers to intentionally "misclassify" employees who should be paid on a w-2 basis as independent contractors paid on a 1099 basis.

If you have been so misclassified, then you are entitled to overtime if you can convince the appropriate authorities that you should be treated as a w-2 employee.

ARE YOU GETTING PAID EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TRULY EARNED?
