indy contractors usually are not
your best source of general information is your local office of the california dept of labor standards enforcement, whose phone number is in the state pages at the front of your phone book. if you have more specific questions related to your status, you should talk to an attorney experienced in employment law. for the record, it is more likely than not that an "independent contractor" is not an independent contractor. what is often at stake are benefits, seniority rights, and sometimes 401k and stock options rights.
