Have you been told you are not entitled to any benefits, workers compensation coverage or overtime pay because you are an independent contractor?

Contractors don\u2019t have coverage for workers compensation or unemployment benefits. That means unless you are paying for it on your own, if you are injured on the job you are on your own and many insurance companies will deny your claim saying you should be covered by workers comp for a \u201cwork related injury.\u201d<\/p>\n
