Delivering the Pay You Deserve!
Driver Misclassification Law Firm in Illinois and New Jersey
Don’t Let Your Employer Shortchange You by Making Its Expenses Your Expenses
If you deliver packages, furniture, or appliances and your company calls you an “independent contractor,” you may be missing pay, benefits, expenses, and other wages the law requires. Illinois and New Jersey follow a law called the ABC test. This legal test is very favorable to independent contractors. One of its components is that only employees can perform the core services of the employer. While each case is different and requires specific review, this favorable legal test in Illinois and New Jersey generally means that if you are a delivery driver performing delivery services for a delivery company, and you are paid as an independent contractor, then you are likely misclassified.
Final Mile Legal represents delivery drivers across Illinois and New Jersey in wage and hour class actions. We pursue unpaid overtime, unlawful deductions, expense reimbursement, and penalties for driver misclassification.
