New NLRB Ruling Affects Who May Be Considered an “Independent Contractor”

In a recent decision, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has changed how determinations will be made to determine whether a worker is an independent contractor or not. In previous decisions, the NLRB has said that it would prioritize the entrepreneurial opportunities of a worker to determine whether they qualify as an independent contractor. In this decision, however, they have said they will look to a wide variety of factors to determine if someone qualifies for that classification.

Why Might You Be Misclassified as an Independent Contractor?

According to the New York State Department of Labor, there have been more than 31,000 employee misclassification cases in the state since 2007. While this is sometimes the result of an honest mistake, some employers will intentionally misclassify their employees as independent contractors, resulting in serious legal and financial problems. But why might an employer intentionally misclassify someone as an independent contractor? Continue reading “Why Might You Be Misclassified as an Independent Contractor?”

Five Things You Should Know About Independent Contractors

Broadly speaking, there are two primary types of workers: employees and independent contractors. While this may not seem especially relevant to some people, the legal distinction between the two is incredibly important. Depending on whether you are an employee or independent contractor, you could have far different protections and responsibilities to your employer. Here are five things you should know about independent contractors:

What is an Independent Contractor?

When most people think of the relationship between an employer and a worker, they envision something like the archetypical employee. The worker goes into the place where they’re employed, works however long they’re scheduled to work, and goes home at the end of the day. However, some workers aren’t employees, but are instead independent contractors, and things work a little differently for them. Continue reading “What is an Independent Contractor?”

Misclassifying Employees as Independent Contractors

Across the country, more employers are hiring individuals on an as-needed basis.  This often leads to denying workers benefits such as health insurance, overtime, and sick pay, among others. Hiring employees on an as-needed basis may be a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The Department of Labor has set forth a legal test to determine whether or not a worker is considered an employee or a contractor.

Significant Employee versus Independent Contractor Developments

All companies must now be familiar with the Labor Department’s new rules defining independent contractor versus employee status for several reasons.  In addition to working for principals as an independent worker, many rep firms hire employees to assist in their businesses.  When are workers employees? When are they contractors?  These are differences in definitions that have huge legal implications.

Employee or Independent Contractor? How Some Employers Are Committing Wage Theft

A September 1, 2014 report by the New York Times, revealed an increase in lawsuits across the nation, charging various employers of violating minimum wage and overtime laws. Some of the allegations include erasing work hours and wrongfully taking employees’ tips.

Both federal and state officials argue that more companies are violating wage laws than ever before.  Officials speculate that these violations are motivated by competition and higher profits. However, another argument supposes that the structure of these businesses essentially incentivizes wage theft due to their organizational structure.

Andrew Cuomo signed an act earlier this year that will have a significant impact on employers in the transportation industry by changing the tests used to determine whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor.

    I highly recommend Steven Sack. You'll get efficiency, experience, and respect.I was a part of a structured layoff and was referred to Steven Sack. I'm really glad I was able to have him look over my contract and termination and give me the peace of mind that I was treated fairly and walked away with the best possible terms. When you're suddenly let go, emotions and stress can run hotter than normal, but Steven is a sensible, realistic, and pragmatic person who respects your situation and helps you understand what's going on. He brings his experience so that you can breathe a little easier in letting him handle the negotiations and what would be stressful conversations to handle yourself. He's communicative and will let you know the status as things progress, so you're not worrying about updates. Again, I highly recommend you reach out no matter your situation as the consultation process is very easy and Steven is very responsive.

    From our first interaction I knew that Mr. Sack was the right lawyer for me. He is a man of strong character who truly believes in fighting for what is right. He has a deep passion for the law & his clients. Mr. Sack doesn’t just talk a good game he stands behinds his convictions. He is direct & to the point when speaking with you. He said from the start that he would be honest & straight forward with me & he was, even when I did not necessarily want to hear the truth. He is compassionate & truly listens to his clients, but he will always tell them the hard truths about their case.Mr. Sacks years of experience speak for itself. Within a matter of several phone calls & emails to myself, my employer & their council he negotiated for me a much-improved severance package. A package that reflected my years of dedicated service, & the value I brought to my former employer. I was as a 23-year veteran employee with an impeccable personnel file & a strong reputation both inside the company & within my field.Bottom line, Mr. Sack is a seasoned professional with a direct, no-nonsense, take-charge approach towards working with his clients & negotiating for them. I would highly recommend him & would not hesitate to use his services again.-Christine TenEyck

    This review comes less than 1 week of meeting Steven. From the first telephone call he was confident, professional and honest. He comes with experience that equal results. I was referred to Steven by another law firm for his expertise with my employment situation. I’m so happy the connection was made. I was given an appointment for the same evening for a consultation, though I opted for another day. In less than 72 hours..Huge progress was made. I have a ways to go but I’m convinced that I’m in good hands with Steven. I also received a FREE signed hardcover copy of Steven’s best selling book “FIRED!”. Thank you Steven you are THE BEST.. hands down.

    Steven Stack helped me with an unfair severance package.I had one session with him and he helped me get triple my severance and additional bonuses by taking his advice and reading his book. If you have an unfair severance, his time and advice is worth it.Steven does good work. He's the real deal. I'm so grateful for his generosity with his time, and helping people in cases big and small.

    Steven was so helpful and patient. I had never been terminated from a job or worked with a lawyer before, so I had a lot of questions and anxieties. He not only explained my rights and helped ease my concerns around the situation, but he was even able to negotiate a better severance contract for me. He is incredibly responsive and I look forward to reading his book.

    I had a great experience with Steven Mitchell Sack. He was very empathetic, detail oriented and extremely knowledgeable of employment law. He returned my calls and e-mails quite promptly, and was very clear and honest with what to expect. When it came to negotiating my severance package, this attorney came through for me. He’s tough, but knows how to talk to lawyers, particularly in my case as we were dealing with a huge company. Thank you Steve, I’m so appreciative of your help.

    Mr. Sack helped me get a severance when my employer had no intentions of providing me with one, after I was terminated. He tells you the truth; no bs, even though it might not be what you want to hear. He always answered my calls personally and exlpained next steps in details. He fought for my rights, and I'm very pleased with the outcome. Highly recommend!!

    Steven is an incredible person that also happens to practice his craft on a level that will impress you out the gate. Hiring him and talking to him will immediately give you peace of mind. One thing to be careful of is that after working with him you will start expecting more from every other lawyer you ever work with!

Coincidently soon after that I needed somebody like him.Steven is super smart, very knowledgeable, thorough, and understands what a person is going through who is either accepting an offer or just got laid off or fired. He was very prompt to respond and turned things around within hours. Best part, his hourly rates are very reasonable.Steven is now on my permanent call list for all things employment law.

    Mr. Steve Sack did a great job with negotiating my employment separation agreement. He was able to get me more money in severance and an additional week of PTO. In addition, he was diligent with constant follow-up on my behalf with my former employer's attorney (who were very slow to respond), and with me for revisions in the agreement and obtaining the proper signatures over the course of several months. I would definitely recommend him.

    I can’t say enough great things about Steven. I knew from our first call that he was different from all of the other lawyers I consulted with, and believe me, I spoke with many. His expertise is apparent and proved incredibly valuable during negotiations. He is extremely transparent, which is hard to come by nowadays, and was always quick to respond and provide updates as soon as they happened.Not only does he know his stuff but he actually cared about the details and circumstances, which personally meant a lot to me and put me at ease during a very difficult time. After a really long search I began to give up hope of finding representation that wasn’t only focused on “what was in it for them” Steven was that needle in the haystack that completely changed my mind. I can’t thank or recommend him enough!

    Steve is the real deal. He helped me navigate a tough time for me (after being part of an unlucky group of employees laid off). He reviewed my severance package, leveled with me straight what was and wasn’t possible, checked in on every step of the process, and in the end — he was able to negotiate a better package for me. I would not have been able to do any of this without his expertise. I highly recommend you consider his services for your employment legal issues, he has the solutions! Thank you again, Steve!

    Steven is an outstanding lawyer. He is quick to understand the facts of a case and presents a very amicable attitude towards opposition lawyers. His friendliness and demeanor uncover a human aspect to the legal profession that is often underestimated. I cannot stress enough the reality and truth that the human element matters, sometimes even more than the facts of the case itself. Go with Steven if you need a quick assessment and want to have all your bases covered. He will do everything in his power to get you the best deal possible.

He was able to clearly articulate the legal concerns and was very transparent about how he would go about it and the likely fees. He helped me get terms that exceeded my expectations. He delivered. I would highly recommend Steven Sack!

    Steven is one of the most caring people I have encountered. He is not only concerned on getting a fair settlement, his compassion for his clients goes above and beyond.He was in contact with us straight through the process and followed up on all emails and phone calls instantly. He is honest, compassionate and has integrity. This is exactly what you would want when you ask someone to represent you.

    Mr. Sack was the absolute best. He worked with me and guided me through the entire process, returned my phone calls and emails promptly no matter how busy he was. I never felt rushed and always knew he took the time to listen and advise. He was incredibly fast and efficient. If you’re searching for a lawyer in this area, he is by far the best in the business. I couldn’t thank him enough, I highly recommend him as he is a true professional

    I cannot say enough good things about Steven. He is my absolute hero. After being laid off from a job of 14 years, I was devastated, confused and afraid of my future. Steven immediately made me feel at ease. He got right back to me and always kept me up to date on what was going on with my case. It was a complicated case and my previous employers were tough. But Steven fought for every penny for me and got me more than they originally offered. He was clear and always honest. He is a straight shooter and never tried to “over-sell” what he could do for me. HIRE HIM NOW. You will not be disappointed and he will fight for you. Steven is a true gem.

    I was a superintendent in the bronx for 30 years when my boss thought i was not cost effective any longer. I was being let go and had nothing to fall back on. I reluctantly went to steven sack but i read about him and his firm and decided to try and I'm so glad I did. I was introduced to andrew sack who took over my case he got me a fair severance and treated me with compassion and they were very straight forward with me. I'm just a blue collor worker,but it's so reassuring to know we have someone that looks out for us. Thank you so much steven, and Andrew sack for making me feel like I'm important.

    Steven Mitchell Sack is an incredible attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable in the field of employment law, is confident, but not cocky, and he's honest about what you're up against, even if you don't like what he has to say. He is kind, caring, and compassionate too. Mr. Sack always returns calls promptly, does what he says he's going to do, and is super affordable. This man is a godsend. I am extraordinarily happy with my results! I highly recommend him to anyone.

    Steven Sack is an exceptional lawyer - he took on my challenging employment situation and won more money for me. He understands how to negotiate with companies and how to get more for employees who deserve it. He actually seems to care about his clients and wants to take care of them at a time when they’ve gone through a rough patch.Also, his economics are very fair and are risk free for the employees.Lastly, when I got a new job, Steven reviewed my contract for free and helped make sure that I was better protected this time around.I highly recommend Steven and if ever anything comes up again, I will go back to him.

    Steven is a very helpful and passionate attorney. I was very pleased with his consultation and as a result hired Steven to negotiate my separation agreement. Steven also did not charge me anything extra. I only was charged for the consultation, though I thought Steven's services were excellent. Happy to refer his services to anyone in need as his passionate to help workers was extremely helpful in putting my mind at ease.

    Steven worked on my case and was able to handle my severance quickly and professionally. Steven's sense of prognosing the outcome of my case was accurate, and I ended up getting a better severance package from my previous employer then they had initially offered. Through all of my anxiety for the result of the severance, Steven was patient with me and helped me regain my composure. He was quick to respond to my inquiries and explained every step of the process to me throughly. Steven Sack is truly a 5-star employee attorney!!!

    My case was not only handled quickly and judiciously with the least amount of stress, Steven was also spot on about predicting what they were most liked to agree to and touching back base with me following up every time exactly when he said he would. If at any time he was delayed in reconnecting with me, he would always communicate that to give me the heads up. I was blown away by how on top of his game and organized he is, no matter what his volume of clients are at the moment, to be able to maintain such consistency. It is clear Steven has both the depth of experience and knowledge, alongside being a solid/fantastic human being, that is deeply passionate about his work. This kindness and passion comes through in both his work and interactions with clients. I give Steven Sack a Michelin Star 🌟 💫 rating based on my experience working with him!

    Steven Mitchell Sack came highly recommended to me by a former colleague. I was hesitant about even contacting an attorney but all doubts dissipated the moment I met Steve. He began our meeting by telling me about his qualifications and experience complete with supporting letters and articles. I had an immediate sense that I was with someone very special. And he is. Steve is a brilliant and successful attorney, passionate about his work, professional, kind, honest and ethical… Steve is the entire package. He successfully represented me and insured that I was not taken advantage of by my former employer. I could not be more pleased with how well my case was handled or how quickly. Steve wrote the book on the rights of employees. Literally, he wrote the book. Steve Sack is the BEST Labor & employment lawyer in New York, bar none.

His council and legal representation allowed me to extricate myself from a difficult situation with integrity and grace. I would unequivocally recommend Mr. Steven Sack to represent me in any legal matter that may arise in the future.

    Steven Sack, Attorney, began counseling me on employee rights and how to negotiate with employers for the best possible compensation package in 1998. The outcome was spectacular for me. My employment was cut short after 4 years due to a death in the family, and Steven Sack stepped in on behalf of the family to save our family business from being sold. His skill dealing with the automobile manufacturer, key employees and family set the stage for a successful transition to the next generation, and preservation of the family legacy. He serves as corporate counsel to our family franchised auto business, as well as a Director on the board. Whether he is advising our HR Department on personnel matters, analyzing potential business deals, or giving advice to the myriad of day-to-day activities that occur in a large automobile dealership, Steven Sack brings a keen analytical and legal mind to each situation. Our business, as well as my personal interests, are safe and secure with Steven Sack part of the team.

    I met Steve about 35 years ago when I started my business.During that time, he has not only won every case he worked for me, but I also consider him a trusted friend. Steve has taught me, held my hand in bad times, given me a number of the books he has written, which happen to be extremely informative, and I would trust him with my life. There is nobody in employee/employer law that is better. He has handled other legal matters for me outside, of employee rights, and has always done right by me. Thank you Steve

    Steve has virtually become a member of my family. Over the 20 years that I know him, and have done business with him, his integrity and ethics, are eyond reproach. Not only has he succeeded in all of my affairs, but I have also referred him to family and friends, who tell me the same thing. I've never had a bad experience, won all of my cases, and never looked back. If you want a completely competent, well prepared, and tireless attorney to fight for you, look no further than Steve Sack. Respectfully, Don Cambareri
