Some employers prefer to utilize independent contractors rather than hiring workers on a full-time basis. This enables them to avoid having to pay for workers' compensation insurance, FICA taxes and health insurance costs.
Many contractors though, may actually be regular employees in the eyes of the law. As such, they are entitled to overtime pay, paid rest breaks, and if they are laid off, unemployment compensation as well.

Experienced Representation for Independent Contractors
Our principal, Mark Venardi, has successfully represented numerous independent contractors and employees throughout the San Francisco Bay Area in employment law matters. When representing you, Mr. Venardi will thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your relationship with your employer, working diligently to build a strong and successful case for you. Our firm will seek full and complete compensation for the overtime pay, benefits and other money you deserve.
Have You Overpaid Your Taxes?
Independent contractors typically overpay their taxes during the year by 13-14 percent. If our firm succeeds in establishing your status as an employee, your tax bill will be lowered by a significant amount. Additionally, you will receive greater cash flow, because your taxes withheld will be spread out over many pay periods instead of being due in a lump sum each quarter.
