Often, employers will classify a worker as an “independent contractor” — and many times the worker agrees to this categorization– and the worker is not paid overtime for hours worked over 40 per week.
However, if you are a worker who is called an “independent contractor,” that categorization may not apply for overtime-law purposes and more understanding of the law can help you determine whether you are eligible for overtime pay.
