My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: California
I was just let go from my job where I was paid as a 1099 for four years due to downsizing. I was let go in the middle of what would have been considered an assignment for completion. After reviewing employee laws, I was actually an employee but it is clear the company wanted to save money on taxes and healthcare costs, etc.
Am I eligible for unemployment in California due to the length of steady work?
If not, should I file a claim against the company?
Any further advice?
Thanks so much!
