i have a Non Emergency Medical Transportation company and I have drivers. Can I classify them as independent contractors if they are picking up patients on company vehicle

I am classified as an independent contractor, I sell advertising, that is the core business of the company, to sell advertising. I am free to control my own schedule, however the company requires per the contract that I visit stores every quarter for inventory and if I don't, I can be fired and lose future commissions, commissions are only paid upon advertiser payment, not the contract. My independent contractor agreement also has a non-compete clause, if I quit or fired, I can't sell advertising for 12 months and that my own self-generated prospects belong to the company. The contract states that if I file a wage claim or action, I can be sued for 100k and agree to arbitration only in Texas. The company also has a sales minimum per quarter, if I don't meet the minimum I can be fired and lose all future earned commissions. The company requires that an independent contractor carry workman's comp and personal liability insurance of 1 million dollars. Am I a true independent contractor?

I'm a model in NYC. My agency hasn't paid me for bookings I did over thirty days ago. (They claim the client hasn't paid yet.) Should I take legal action against the client, or the agency?

I recently left my position as a residential property manager. I was paid as a 1099 employee although I was required to work from the office at least 3 days a week. I gave notice on October 14th but ended up walking off the job on Monday the 17th due to the fact that my broker was lying to one of our biggest clients about a contractor that we stopped using because his work was horrible. She stated that we had stopped using him because he and I did not get along. I have no written contract with her - everything was verbal. In any case, I left and told her I would not be returning. We normally get paid on the 10th and I still have not received my check for the 17 days I worked. Am I entitled to be paid for my time?

I'm an independent contractor. During the pandemic, I took out an SBA loan with a 30-year repayment term and used the entire amount for my business. I want to file for divorce. I want to know if my wife can ask for half of the loan. I don't have any loans left. I am in California

I am an independent contractor. I have just been laid off from two jobs working as an editor at a publishing company, which is being consolidated and absorbed into an umbrella business. The company is located in Durham, North Carolina. I am a permanent resident of North Carolina as well. Am I qualified to receive unemployment? Thank you for your help!

I've worked for a company as a contractor for 3 years. They provided a contractor agreement each year which I signed. Each agreement contains a "works made for hire clause" which as I understand in California(where I live/work) automatically makes me an employee of the company. They just ended my contract with no severance or equity which they had recently promised to give. All other employees had equity agreements. My question is, can I make an argument that I have been misclassified as a contractor for 3 years and as an employee, I am entitled to the same equity plan as other employees? Also, since I've been paying taxes as a sole proprietor, could there be a tax liability(or possibly refund or benefit) for me if my status were changed to employee? Are there other things that I should consider before bringing this up with them?
