What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I work for a Non-Profit (foreign exchange program - Cu***** Hom****** Int******) they pay me $1000.00 per month, regularly and my job is to place 10 students (i placed 12, went over my contract)
I also work for another Non-Profit (foreign exchange program (Edu***** T***** &Cu****) they pay me $2500.00 per month, regularly and my job is to place 15 students (i placed 18, went over my contract)
So I work for both to supplement my income, as a 1099 contractor.
I work 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Many many times I am working on Sunday, working at 1am in the morning . . .I was working WHILE i was in labor and worked the day after having a baby. We are expected to be available 24/7
C** called E** last night and asked for an "off the record" conversation and verified if I was working for E**. I get a call this morning saying I have been terminated from both companies for working with each of them. Now, last time I checked I as NOT an employee. I still get a 1099.
They control the tools I use
They control the process I work
They do not control the time (however I am expected to be available 24/7 for my kids)
I turn in expenses - printer ink, marketing material, paper
I also hired someone to help me, and they threatened to fire me saying they hired ME not someone else. I also had my husband helping me during a very busy season and they scolded me and told me he was not allowed to help me.
They do this in this industry allll the time and I am so sick of it. They try to control you and not let you provide a service to their "competitor" (they are a non profit so there shouldn't be competitors). They want to pay me $1000.00 and tell me I can't work for anyone else, but be available 24/7. They call us independent contractors and then control everything we do and way underpay us.
I have dedicated my life to non profit work, and have now lost $3500.00 in this economy. I know I should just walk away, but I feel it is an injustice because they are GREATLY benefitting from all the work I did this summer and have not been paid for yet. My first pay check was October 1st. I feel they should not be allowed to abuse their rights in this way, they know moms want to stay at home and they will take lower paying jobs to do so and then they exploit them.
can I at least recoup the work I did that they haven't paid me for. They are acting like I am having an "affair" on them, lol
