Q. If I am a bona fide independent contractor, may I file a wage claim?
A. Independent contractors are not covered by the Division of Wage and Hour Compliance. If you are a bona fide independent contractor, you must bring your claim to the small claims court in the county where the employer resides or conducts business. If you are unsure whether you are considered an independent contractor, it is advisable for you to file a claim with the Division so that a determination can be made as to whether the Division can assist you in pursuing your claim.
