New York Employee Misclassification Attorney

Misclassification of workers is a serious issue that impacts countless individuals and businesses.  Understanding misclassification rules and the rights available to you as an employee is critical to protecting your interests.  If you believe you have been misclassified, a New York employee misclassification attorney at Miller Shah is here to help. 

What is Worker Misclassification?

Worker misclassification occurs when employers improperly categorize their employees as independent contractors or overtime-exempt workers to avoid providing benefits, overtime, or other protections under state and federal laws. Employers may also wrongfully classify employees to avoid compliance with important wage and hour regulations. While this practice reduces costs for employers, it often leads to significant financial and workplace disadvantages for workers. 

Common signs of misclassification include being expected to work and act like an employee, but being denied overtime pay, access to benefits like health insurance or paid time off, and employer contributions to social security or unemployment. 

The Impact of Misclassification

Misclassification isn’t just an administrative error—it has real-world consequences for employees. Workers who have been misclassified are often denied key benefits and protections, such as meal and rest breaks, workers’ compensation, or unemployment benefits. 

Beyond the lack of benefits, misclassification can also result in inaccurate tax withholdings, leaving workers liable for hefty tax payments. For many, the financial strain and uncertainty caused by misclassification can be overwhelming, impacting long-term stability and quality of life.
