Construction Worker Misclassification

Misclassified as a Contractor? You May Be Losing Thousands.

Many construction companies misclassify workers as independent contractors to avoid paying benefits, overtime, and taxes. But if they control how you work, you may be an employee under the law and employees are entitled to full wage protections.

Signs You’re Misclassified:

  • Your boss tells you when and where to work
  • You use their tools, wear their uniform, or report to a supervisor
  • You received a 1099, but should have gotten a W-2
  • You are given a set schedule

Why It Matters:

If you're misclassified, you may be owed:

  • Overtime pay
  • Reimbursement for unpaid hours
  • Employer-paid taxes and benefits
  • Compensation for years of underpayment

Undocumented Construction Workers Are Protected

Wage laws apply regardless of immigration status. If you’re misclassified and underpaid, you have the right to file a claim. We do not ask for immigration papers, and your information remains confidential.
