I think ACL is o.k (for now)

Could you post some of this letter?@hagie25 wrote:
Just got a notice from the California Department of Industrial Relations letting me know A Closer Look LLC, and A Closer Look INC, is being investigated for possible labor law violations. I was sent a 3 page form asking me tons of questions about them, my guess from the questions asked is it may not be legal for them to not offer payment for work...

Labor Law applies whether a company employs people as employees or as ICs. There are laws about what makes someone an independent contractor vs. an employee. Does anyone actually know what the investigation is about or are we all just guessing? I have no idea. I received the paperwork from the state today, but could not glean what the supposed infraction is. Do you think they are doing something wrong? I was a little surprised that they didn't get out ahead of it by contacting everyone on their list, but maybe ACL did not know. (They probably know now!)

I got the same letter. Some questions make no sense. For example:
How are you paid?
__ By an hourly rate of $_____ per hour;
__ By a fixed amount of $____ per ____
Neither of those two options apply and there is no "other" option.

I got a letter. It was not the same letter because your example was not in the letter I received.
