## Definition

An employment misclassification claim is a legal action initiated by an employee who alleges that their employer has improperly classified them as an independent contractor, rather than an employee. The claim typically arises when an employer misclassifies an employee to avoid providing benefits or complying with certain employment laws, such as minimum wage and overtime requirements. Employees who are misclassified may be entitled to back wages, benefits, and other compensation.
