My adult daughter go a “job” working phone support for national brands. It is 100% remote which probably explains her reluctance.
This is a company that uses a contractor model, but several things scream misclassification to me. There is also huge wage theft that is making mama bear very mad.
Each new contract anyone is accepted on requires a month of unpaid training. This is on the company schedule and I think it may involve actually working with some additional supervision. After this month of “voluntary” training then they start being treated like contractors. They can set their own hours and get paid as work comes in. More like an Uber model. This is attractive, because WFH positions for kids with very little education or experience. I feel like this is exploitation of vulnerability.
Sooo… my question is, considering I have very limited information and zero proof, what can I do to get this company to, you know, follow employment law.
