Hello,
Just curious...I work for a private practice who, legally, considers me an "independent contractor" (and therefore I receive no benefits whatsoever). However, the practice dictates the hours I work, and completely dictates how many patients I will see per hour. They pay me per day. Is this really considered an "independent contractor" position? Or am I really an employee?... (and therefore what they are doing is illegal??) I am a relatively new grad, so any input would be appreciated...
