Typing this from Ohio. I own a company. A same day transportation company. I've owned it for 29 years. This is the 3rd litigation lawsuit I have had brough against me by my independent contractors. The claim most recently being made by a former is that I am misclassifying my employees. I don't wish to go through anymore litigation. Is it illegal to send her a check for the damages without going through the court? Or is this illegal and considered bribery? If I do send it and she cashes it, will it affect my case? My counsel is on vacation at the moment. I was afraid to speak with any lawyers I knew personally as I feared they may judge my ability to run my business. Thanks in advance
