A common misconception among California workers: if you're being denied overtime or meal breaks, it must mean you've been misclassified as an independent contractor.
Under California law, that's not necessarily true. The ABC test — established by the California Supreme Court and codified under AB5 — determines your actual classification regardless of what any contract says.

🧾 California's wage and hour laws are among the strongest in the nation.
Under the IWC Wage Orders, workers must be paid for all time under an employer's control — including pre-shift arrivals, post-event breakdown, and mandatory meetings.
Missed rest breaks and meal periods carry additional pay remedies.
Workers who speak up are protected from retaliation.
