Unemployment Benefits Denied in Nevada — employer changed my status to contractor

Quick background on my situation in Nevada — any input appreciated.

employer changed my status to contractor. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 6 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the FLSA and state wage laws years for this type of claim.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.
