i'm not an expert on independent contractorships, but my understanding of them has basically been that employers use them to skirt labor laws and to take advantage of a vulnerable work force that has to take what it can get in a tough economy.
In my field it is the employee themselves who want to be an independent contractor because they get paid without having their taxes deducted. They then try to dwindle down their taxable income or simply not pay them at all. I've seen it many times. Employers can be on the hook for these taxes if the IRS proves they were essentially an employee of the company. It seems you really know nothing about this.

so what i've gotten out these responses is that the poli board is a-ok with this.

Just because they claim theft doesn't mean it happened. Not enough facts to form an opinion.
It says a majority affected are immigrants.... I wonder how many are here illegally? Cause we used to have illegal immigrants on the farm and we paid them less than minimum wage to offset the risks of fines if caught. But they agreed to that wage so it wasn't theft

Salaried employees are exempt from the over 40 hour/week overtime requirement, and so are business owners, it seems.
they are not actually exempt, multiple companies have been sued for expecting too much work from its salaried employees.
I know my work was one of them, we changed the classification of thousands of employees from salary to hourly due to the law suit. Basically management was expecting them to work 80-100 hr weeks, and they said frick that, filed a class action law suit and won

Then change employers if yours is being a dick.
