I’m employed remotely by a company out of California as an independent contractor, though I live in Arizona. In my contract, I am supposed to be paid monthly, but I did not receive any pay for 3 months in 2021. I was eventually paid only the value of my paycheck, but now the company is doing it again and I don’t know what to do. I’m wondering if anyone can give me some advice on my next steps, be it taking it up to a labor board or pursuing legal action. I’ve already called a labor lawyer in CA and was told they can not help me because I’m located in AZ.
I’m also concerned that I have been misclassified as a contractor, when I am being treated like an employee. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you.
