[Urgent] [USA] [CA/CO] How can I protect myself before being fired as a misclassified contractor? - Lemmy.World

Hi, Couldn’t find a good place to post this. Hope it’s ok here. I am working a job where I have discovered I am misclassified as a contractor. They are (probably) about to fire me - I requested switching over to a W2 and they responded with a curt email and a request for a quick call tomorrow. I strongly believe they are going to terminate my contract. I am in CO, but the contract says the laws of CA will apply. How can I protect myself before and after this call, especially since I am considering reporting them to the IRS? Thank you

You should probably talk to an attorney who’s knowledgable about labor law. This happened to me, and I could never get anywhere with it.

Alright. Thank you. I hope legal aid has one.

I second this. It’s also a good idea to start keeping copies of your time cards and / or creating handwritten (and dated) records of your duties. It is my unferstanding that handwritten and dated notes tend to have a decent amount of legal weight in terms of credibility. This SHOULD make your lawyers job easier.
