Montana Petition Disputing Independent Contractor Determination is a legal document used to dispute the classification of a worker as an independent contractor. It is used when an employer classifies a worker as an independent contractor, but the worker believes they are an employee. The Montana Petition Disputing Independent Contractor Determination must be filed with the Montana Department of Labor and Industry. The petition must include information about the worker, the type of work they performed, and the amount of control the employer had over the worker. The Montana Department of Labor and Industry will consider the petition and make a determination if the worker is an independent contractor or an employee. There are two different types of Montana Petition Disputing Independent Contractor Determination: 1. Montana Petition to Disprove Independent Contractor Status: This petition is used when a worker believes they were misclassified as an independent contractor and should be classified as an employee. 2. Montana Petition to Prove Independent Contractor Status: This petition is used when a worker believes they were correctly classified as an independent contractor and should not be classified as an employee.
