chicagotribune.com: "As a cable installer, Joe Marte of Carol Stream was simultaneously classified as an independent contractor and an employee for Baker Installations, for doing the same work.
As a result, Marte did not get overtime pay, though he often worked more than 40 hours a week, he said. He also didn't get other benefits granted to full-time employees.
'They had said we're supposed to be employees, but they still wanted to pay us as independent contractors,' Marte said. Independent contractors, who are considered sole proprietors, get 1099 tax forms instead of W-2s.
