Company didn’t tell me I’m an independent contractor

Long story short I recently was hired by a company I left, due to moving, for a remote and part-time role after the company reached back out to me. Here’s the problem, the offer letter states that I am a part-time employee and benefits will not be extended. Cool. But then they made me sign an independent contractor contract to get the position. Nowhere in the offer letter I signed did it state I would be an independent contractor. This has resulted in a significant gap in compensation between what I was expecting to be paid and what I am actually being paid. Further, the company apparently only has 1-month overhead which I found out from a employee and wasn’t told before I was hired. I top of that, they are taking me with stuff that is outside of my job description, but put in the offer I can’t work…

But then they made me sign an independent contractor contract to get the position. Nowhere in the offer letter I signed did it state I would be an independent contractor.

This has resulted in a significant gap in compensation between what I was expecting to be paid and what I am actually being paid. Further, the company apparently only has 1-month overhead which I found out from a employee and wasn’t told before I was hired.

I top of that, they are taking me with stuff that is outside of my job description, but put in the offer I can’t work more than 30hrs so, it just creates a backlog of work.

Any advice? I’m already looking for a new job but any feedback or input would be appreciated.
