Akopyan Law Firm, A.P.C. Protects the Rights of Employees Misclassified as Independent Contractors in LA County

An employment law firm in LA county stands ready to fight for employees misclassified as independent contractors.

BURBANK, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, June 1, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Representatives of the Akopyan Law Firm announced today that their law firm represents employees misclassified as independent contractors by their employers in LA county.

“Employers sometimes negligently or willfully misclassify their

employees as independent contractors for the purpose of avoiding the payment of payroll taxes, a minimum wage, overtime compensation, and meeting other similar legal requirements,” said Michael Akopyan, founder and partner at the Akopyan Law Firm.

“Determining if a particular worker is an employee or an independent contractor requires a fact specific inquiry. Each situation is unique. Depending on the circumstances of his or her specific situation, an employee might discover that he or she is really an employee, and not an independent contractor,” said Akopyan.

Akopyan invited employees working in the Los Angeles County who feel that they may have been misclassified as an independent contractor to contact Akopyan Law’s employment law attorneys in Burbank to discuss their potential case. “We are dedicated to protecting employees and enforcing their rights,” Akopyan added.
