I am self-employed with a company as a second job and am an independent contractor. Rate of pay is monthly and I was let go with thirty days notice per the contract terms. Contract states "The parties agree that the Consultant is an independent contractor in the performance of the Services and that no employment relationship is created between the Consultant and ***. The Consultant shall have no authority to bind *** in any way." Is this enforceable? Am I entitled to any severance? I blanked out the company name for privacy purposes.
More information would be required to assess whether you were misclassified and entitled to severance pay or any other entitlements. We recommend you reach out to our intake team to discuss your options
