Our San Jose Misclassification & Independent Contractor Lawyer Protects Your Rights On The Job
Employee misclassification happens when businesses wrongfully categorize workers as independent contractors, depriving them of wages, benefits, and legal protections. At Venardi Zurada LLP, our experienced San Jose misclassification and independent contractor lawyer protects your rights and helps you get the compensation you are entitled to.
Common types of workers who are often subject to misclassification in Santa Clara County include:
- Construction workers, carpenters, landscapers, and other tradespeople;
- Home health aides, housekeepers, and other service providers;
- Freelancers and consultants in technology, marketing, and other fields;
- App-based and gig economy workers, such as rideshare and grocery delivery drivers.
California’s AB 5 law sets strict standards for classifying independent contractors. If you lack control over your schedule, the types of work you perform, or the use of tools of the trade, you may be misclassified and entitled to compensation.
