Employment Law, Employee Contact Form

Independent contractors are not treated the same as employees. While independent contractors have more freedom in their work, they also lack some of the protections enjoyed by traditional employees, such as workers' compensation and unemployment benefits. They are also responsible for paying their own taxes directly to the Internal Revenue Service from the first dollar, since their taxes are not withheld by the business that is paying them. If you have a question as to whether you should work as an independent contractor or as an employee, contact an experienced employment law attorney today to discuss your situation.

Learn More About Employment Law

Most employment is "at-will." Basically, this means that you could quit or be fired for almost any reason, or even no reason at all. However, there are exceptions to that general rule and employees have many safeguards in place to protect their rights. Under current state and federal laws, employers are not allowed to dismiss an employee for their age, race, sex, pregnancy, national origin, color, union activity or in violation of public policy. If you have been dismissed for one of these reasons, contact the attorneys at Cook, Portune & Logothetis to learn more about your options.
