Employers across the country have been misclassifying employees as independent contractors in order to avoid paying them money and benefits they’re owed. If you or someone you love has been denied workers compensation you deserve, the New Jersey workers compensation lawyers of Levinson & Axelrod may be able to help get you the money you’re owed.

Legislators across the company are considering ways to cut down on the illegal misfiling of workers as independent contractors. New Jersey, New York, and Montana recently brought litigation against FedEx for these practices, and more suits are almost certainly on the horizon.

In addition to hurting workers who are not getting the benefits they deserve, this illegal practice allows companies to undercut competitors, meaning that other companies and their employees suffer as well.
