rights as an Independent Contractor working in the public school system

[nrsucee]

Can anyone assist me in understand my rights as an Independent Contractor working in the public school system? Do I have any rights? Can they just have me turn in my name badge, building keys and release me from my duties without any paperwork? When asked if I am Terminated or Fired they do not answer Yes or No? But yet if I do not fill this role throughout the duration of my contract agreement which was the 2016-2017 school year. Failure to complete then I have to pay the corporation fees for the rest of my assigned contract ? Am liable to repay the contract company who subcontracted me? When I asked this I was told that I had to follow up with them. I am not understanding this process at all. My supervisor was thee most unhelpful, degrading , cruel and by far thee most unapproachable meanest nurse that I have ever, ever experienced in my life. I did not complain. I was over worked . I made a mistake. But I did not deserve the degrading torture my supervisor did to me whenever she decided to stop in. I never received training except 10 mins here or 15 mins there over a months time. I was it for 900 or more students. Never worked as a school nurse/

Whenever I see this type of hyperbole- my hinky-meter activates. Color me skeptical.

Do you have a contract with them you signed when you started working? I would refer to that.

Sounds like an agency hired you out to the school? If that's the case, Definitely ask the person who you first contacted.

I think these are questions best directed to a lawyer.
