FAQ
As a 1099 independent contractor, you do not have meal and rest break rights under California law. If you feel that you are more of an employee than an independent contractor, contact Stop Unpaid Wages at 424-781-8411.
1099 independent contractors do not enjoy the same protections as employees since they are in charge of the performance of their work. They provide their tools and are a separate entity by themselves. As such, they cannot legally sue employers for wrongful termination.
California is an employment-at-will state, meaning that the employer can choose to fire you at any time without providing a reason. It also means that you can stop working for the employer at any time.
If your independent contractor agreement contains a provision that allows the parties to terminate the relationship at any time, revise the agreement to include a notice provision with at least some kind of a notice period required for termination of the contract.
Know your purpose for writing. Know the reason why you are writing the separation notice and who you are writing it to. Gather all key information. Organize. Make it brief and clear. Make use of formal language and tone. Proofread.
By definition, independent contractors are able to dictate their schedules. This means that employers cannot tell an independent contractor when to work unless they want to give the worker the benefits of a true employee.
The date the termination is effective from. The reason(s) for termination. An explanation of their compensation (if any) and what will happen to their benefits. A list of company property to be returned (if any).
If neither the employment contract or any company policy requires the employee to give notice, no notice is legally required under California law. This is because California is an at-will employment state.Similarly, at-will employees can also leave their employer at any time, even without a two weeks' notice.
When you are resigning as an independent contractor it is not necessary to give a specific amount of notice, however, notice is always appreciated. Do mention your availability for additional work prior to your resignation, if any, in your resignation letter.
