A group of four aestheticians, including myself, received contracts stating we would be terminated from our hourly positions at a company. unless we agree to sign new contracts reclassifying us as independent contractors (commission pay only with no base pay) , not employees of the company. we will be jobless unless we accept the new offer. We were given less than two weeks' notice and must waive our right to sue, with no clear benefit offered in return. Is this allowed ?
