Independent Contractor Law Solution
Upon review of Lisa's job responsibilities, it was clear that she should have been paid as a W2 employee, not as an independent contractor. It was also clear that she had suffered some concrete damages as a result of that decision.
We represented Lisa in a lawsuit brought in the Massachusetts courts, and were ultimately able to get her a settlement which compensated her for the damages she had suffered.

Postscript
Lisa was compensated for the financial harm she had experienced. She also was able to see some kind of accountability for a situation she believed was unfair and wrong.
If you are in a similar situation, remember that just because it may be common for people to work as independent contractors in your field, that does not mean it is legal. Also remember that if you are being paid as an independent contractor, whether you have a legal claim or not, you should be aware that you need to plan for the taxes that will be owed on your 1099 income the following year.
