Independent Contractior rights
I am employed as an exotic dancer and signed a stage rental agreement stating that I was an ‘independent contractor’ not an employee. As an independent contractor, does my employer have the right to fine me for being late, or calling out sick? I’m looking for the laws for an independent contractor, and my rights but I’m having trouble. Do I have any rights?
