Philadelphia Employee Misclassification Attorneys

Home/Philadelphia Employee Misclassification Attorneys

Employee misclassification is a complex issue that can occur in several ways, such as when workers are improperly classified as independent contractors rather than employees. But even when it occurs by mistake, misclassification can have severe consequences for employees, including denying them access to essential benefits and protections.

At Miller Shah LLP, we are deeply committed to addressing this significant legal challenge. Our Philadelphia employment team offers unparalleled legal assistance to employees who have been misclassified, ensuring they secure the benefits to which they are rightfully entitled. To stop misclassification from occurring in the first place, we also aid employers in parsing classification standards, fostering compliance and mitigating potential legal repercussions.

If you are an employee who believes you have been misclassified or an employer seeking to classify your workforce correctly, don’t face this complex challenge alone. Our Philadelphia employee misclassification attorneys understand the intricacies of employment law and are dedicated to advocating for your rights and interests.

Understanding Employee Misclassification

Miller Shah has experience resolving a broad spectrum of misclassification cases. Two of the major categories of misclassification claims workers often face are:

  • Exempt Employee Misclassification: This occurs when employees are wrongly deemed exempt from overtime and minimum wage protections under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Our legal team aids clients in rectifying their classification and recovering due compensation.
  • Independent Contractor Misclassification: Often, businesses classify workers as independent contractors to bypass providing essential employee benefits and push costs onto their workers. We are experienced in proving the true employment status of our clients, thus enabling them to claim their rightful benefits.

The Crucial Role of Legal Assistance

The implications of employee misclassification are profound, affecting both employers and employees:

  • For Employers: Misclassification can lead to severe legal ramifications, including penalties, fines, and damaging lawsuits, not to mention substantial reputational harm. Professional legal guidance is indispensable for navigating these complexities.
  • For Employees: Misclassified workers are often deprived of crucial benefits, including overtime pay, minimum wage, health care, and retirement plans. Experienced legal representation can be instrumental in reclaiming these rights.
