Assembly Bill 5 change is an attempt to ensure that workers are treated fairly by preventing employers from unjustly classifying them as independent contractors. When an employer uses an independent contractor or freelancer, they can get away with not paying things like unemployment insurance, minimum wage, overtime, benefits, and more.
If you are having trouble getting your employer to pay a fair wage or pay you overtime for hours worked during the week, you need to seek legal assistance. When you need an experienced Los Angeles employment law lawyer, you can contact The Kaufman Law Firm for a free consultation.
