Legal Question in Business Law in Nevada

As a Franchise Attorney I think you need to consider two things. First, were you really an independent contractor? Did you set your compensation rate, hours, have your own business license, etc? If not, you may not be an independent contractor, but a disguised employee. Many employers use so-called independent contractors as a way to escape paying employment taxes. If you report what's happened to your local employment development or labor law department they will investigate and take corrective action. If you truly are an independent contractor, then your only recourse is to sue for payment, probably in small claims court, depending on the total amount involved. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
