Thanks for everyone who gave me the advice and courage to advocate for myself in this situation!

So they apologized for the "mistake" and are going to back pay all the taxes starting when they made me an IC. I am now an employee and back on payroll. I honestly believe they did not mean any harm and they are making it right.I am going to continue working with this company but def watch my back better.

I meet with my boss today. Got my fingers crossed

I work at a holistic clinic and do tons of infusions. I hate how bags are square and fluid is left over in the bottom corners. Why can't they be V shaped?

I am 100% sure that I am an employee by IRS guidelines, but they have me as an IC. I am not sure if others are ICs or not. I work for them 5 days a week and am def the most paid (25 an hr). I am so upset with this situation =(

wow that is so not ok.=( I just graduated 2yrs ago and still paying of school loans ect. I am by no means "on my feet" yet or able to pay anywhere near that. Who should I talk to about this? I was going to give my job the opportunity to correct the situation if possible because I LOVE it there

They told me i was but after doing research, I do not fit the description at all. I plan on it. Thank you 4 the support

They started giving me a paycheck instead of direct depositing my pay. I didn't really think twice about it at the time but grew tired of going to the bank so often, only twice a month but still =). I guess they seemed bigger but I never complained about to much $.I asked if they could go back to direct deposit and then the new office lady spilled the beans. They do not offer vacation time, sick time, holiday pay or anything like that. I do love my job there and hate to lose it over pay

Thanks everyone for the responses! I am 100% sure that I am an employee! And a dang good, hard working one at that. This company does not provide any insurance, benefits, overtime,ect. anyway but I sure as heck do not want to be paying so much more on my taxes. I am afraid to talk to them about this cause it may mean my job, but I have to look out for myself right?

Hello nursing world! My job (a small non profit clinic) apparently made me an independent contractor several months ago without telling me. They did so because it will help them save money? I graduated 2 yrs ago and am not familiar with independent contracting.I am wanting to know what this means for me in terms of protecting myself both legally and financially. The clinic does not provide malpractice so I have always carried my own. I work full time and have for 2 yrs with this company. It is my only job and I get a paycheck every 2 weeks.They clinic provides all supplies needed for PT care.I do not know if I need to sign any forms to stay legal or what this means for taxes. Should I ask for more money? Can they make the decision to make me independent or is that something I have to be part of? Is this a good or bad thing for me?Any help would be greatly appreciated!
