Misclassification
Employers often use all types of employment categories to help control operating costs. There is no question that labor expenses are one of the most fluid areas when it comes to managing the financial solvency of a company, as well as its cash flow. As a result, how employees are hired, classified and paid can make a big difference to the bottom line. One of the more common areas that employers often favor, especially when there is a high supply of capable workers available for a function, is to hire people on as independent contractors versus as direct employees. Another is to move a person into exempt status so that overtime is part of a salary versus hourly pay. For those finding themselves in employment situations where they need the help of Southern California misclassification attorneys, the Law Offices of Gregory A. Douglas should be contacted.
