A common misconception among California workers: if you're being denied overtime or meal breaks, it must mean you've been misclassified as an independent contractor.

Under California law, that's not necessarily true. The ABC test — established by the California Supreme Court and codified under AB5 — determines your actual classification regardless of what any contract says.

More than 400000 California workers are misclassified every year. If you are treated like an employee but labeled as a contractor, you may be entitled to back pay, benefits, and penalties.
