You May Be Owed Back Wages
Federal law requires companies to pay covered employees overtime wages for all hours worked over 40. We understand that some medical transportation companies treat their drivers as “independent contractors” rather than employees and do not pay overtime wages when drivers work more than 40 hours in a week.
But it is not the company’s decision whether to treat a worker as an “employee.” Those standards are set by federal law. The law looks at several factors to decide if a worker is an “independent contractor” or an “employee,” including:
- Control. Does the company control how the worker performs their job – setting the schedule or method for completing the work?
- Investment in Equipment. Does the worker provide the tools and equipment for the job, like the transport van, or is it provided by the company?
- Integral Part of Business. Does the worker perform tasks that are central to the company’s business?
- Permanency. Does the worker have a temporary relationship with the company?
- Technical Skills. Does the worker need highly technical skills to perform the job?
- Opportunity for Profit and Loss. Can the worker control how much they earn based on how they perform their tasks?
