How is independent contractor misclassification addressed under Connecticut law?

Connecticut has detailed standards that employers must follow to properly classify workers as employees or independent contractors. Misclassification is an issue in industries such as healthcare, construction, and gig-based work. Workers who are misclassified may lose access to critical protections, including minimum wage, overtime pay, unemployment benefits, and workers’ compensation. Connecticut’s Department of Labor investigates these issues, and improperly classified workers may have options for filing complaints or participating in enforcement proceedings.
