My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of:WI. Sorry but this will be a long post so I will apologize ahead of time.
I worked the same job for almost 3 years. They said I was self employed but I think I was treated as an employee ,therefore I would get unemployment benefits after they let me go. So I really I need some input here on what to do. It is true that I got a 1099 every year but that was about all I did as far as being self employed. I had a "boss". I had to ask the "boss' for a day off. I had to ask for a vacation and could only go when she said I could. She made me work holidays. She even told me who I could hire, how much to pay them. She also told me I had to fire them. Here is an example- I worked for 12 days straight and on Monday I asked her to take Tuesday off, she told me no. I told her I was going to take it off and she still kept telling me no. This took place in front of someone else that worked there. She called me at home that night and scolded me for talking to her in front of another employee because she was my supervisor and it didn't look good. I even had to tell her when I was starting my day because she needs to know where I am at and what I am doing at all times because she is my supervisor. She also told me how much I could charge for my services.
I saw somewhere that by this woman treating me the way she did, she was actually treating me like an employee. What does everyone else think? Do I have a case? I was let go 6 months ago with just a piece of paper that said they no longer need my services. This was 1 week after they fired "my supervisor"
Should I apply for unemployment benefits?
