What Are You Entitled To?
The issue of whether an individual is an employee or a dependent contractor may make a difference as to what law applies to his or her case. The distinction between employees and dependent contractors has been blurred, resulting in situations where dependent contractors have been awarded reasonable notice or pay in lieu of notice.
