I am an independent contractor that works for work for a small cleaning agency. After working for several months with the agency and servicing my personal clients, I offered to help the owner (about to give bitrth) to help out in the office to learn more about running a cleaning business because i wanted to build one for my mom and she accepted and hired me as pastime working 20 hours a week. So I now had two positions with this company, but dont recall filling out another application for the new position and accepted to be paid in cash for office work and by check for field jobs within the company. I also got commission for new bookings. By working in the office, does that make me a part-time employee with the company? Summarizing the rest. Long story short, hours went up to just under 40 a week after a month and now due to lack of bookings (due to her tardiness in replying with a date and time of availability) i failed to book many potential customers and as a result my hours got cut 50% and comission was taken. There are so many other things that went on, but currently i was suspended (without paperwork) for a week without warning for suggesting to someone that if they'd be interested in an outside source since the company has a 3 hour minimum and they only wanted 2 hours. I did asked her 1st in taking job but she turned it down. Did I do something wrong? Now, I dont know if I will have a job for long, but i need to know what options i have left. Please help.

Thank you,
