Home/Pennsylvania Misclassification of Workers Lawyer

Worker classification is a critical issue for both employees and employers. Accurately determining whether a worker should be classified as an employee or an independent contractor can have far-reaching implications, and misclassification can lead to significant legal and financial consequences for all parties involved. At Miller Shah, we recognize the importance of proper classification, and work to help workers and employers understand these complex issues. If you need the services of a Pennsylvania misclassification of workers lawyer to guide you through the challenges of worker classification disputes, contact Miller Shah today.

By evaluating each case individually, we develop tailored legal strategies to pursue favorable outcomes, minimizing liability and maximizing recovery for our clients.

Consequences of Worker Misclassification

The consequences of misclassification can be severe for workers. Below are some of the key issues that arise when individuals are classified incorrectly:

  • Loss of Overtime Pay: Misclassified workers may be denied their right to overtime compensation despite working long hours.
  • Denial of Benefits: Misclassified employees are often ineligible for health insurance, retirement plans, and other benefits offered to properly classified employees.
  • Tax Burdens: Misclassified individuals may face increased tax responsibilities, including self-employment taxes that should be covered by employers.
  • Lack of Legal Protections: Workers classified as independent contractors may not be protected by laws governing minimum wage, workplace safety, or anti-discrimination policies.
  • Missed Opportunities for Workers’ Compensation: Employees misclassified as contractors are often excluded from workers’ compensation insurance coverage.
  • Limited Access to Paid Leave: Misclassified individuals may miss out on paid sick leave, vacation time, and family leave benefits.

For employers, misclassification can lead to costly litigation and significant penalties, including back payments of wages and benefits and fines for non-compliance with employment laws.
