It very much matters who your employers is. Its your employer that has misclassified you. Therefore your complaint is against your employer, specifically. If your employer happens to be the county then I can think of several reason why they might not address it until the start of a new budget year. They may be legally constrained from making a change like that during a budget year.
If your employer is a private company contracted by the county, then your beef is with the private company. The county has nothing to do with it.
I have already said THE JUVENILE COURT HIRES US. IT IS A COURT SCHOOL RUN BY THE COURT. It is not sub-contracted to another agency. I also realize the county is the one that's going to take the hit for this. But apparently the judge is the one making executive decisions. BTW The budget was already approved OCT 1. That's the start of the budget year. Not January. From what I have just read, if the state comes in to audit based on a complaint and finds they are knowingly employing people as IC's they force them to make the change immediately-not when they feel like it. See below from Michigan.gov
Penalties could result
When UIA finds an employer has been misclassifying its employees, the agency requires the
liable employer to:
􀂃 Pay the required unemployment taxes
􀂃 Become the liable employer immediately, as required by the MES Act
􀂃 Be scheduled for future audits to ensure compliance
If the employee misclassification continues, it is then an intentional violation of state law, and the
employer could be subjected to penalties that quadruple the amount of taxes owed on any
misclassified wages.
