You ask whether an employer can treat you as an independent contractor if you are really an employee. The answer is no, not legally.
Whether or not you are an employee or an independent contractor depends on your circumstances. Generally, the more control that the "employer" has over how you perform the job, the more likely it is that you are an "employee" and not an independent contrator. Importantly, the fact that your employer calls you an indpendent contractor or pays you with a 1099 will not change the actual nature of your relationship.
If you believe that you have been harmed financially as a result of the misclassification, consider a consultation. Call Bev Potter at 330.665.5445 if you are interested. A consultation lasts about 90 minutes. The fee is $200.
