My boss considers me an independent contractor and gives me a 1099 form instead of a W-2 form. Am I entitled to overtime for working over 40 hours in a week?
You may be. The label “independent contractor” does not have anything to do with whether you are eligible for overtime pay. What does matter is the nature of your job duties and your relationship with your employer. If you think you may be categorized as an independent contractor but may be entitled to overtime pay, I would suggest talking to a lawyer about your situation.
