Janitors Denied Overtime Pay

In an attempt to avoid paying overtime, some businesses intentionally misclassify their janitorial workers as independent contractors in a common overtime scam known as employee misclassification.

More than 2 million workers are employed as janitors in an industry in which wage and hour violations are common. In an attempt to reduce labor costs, businesses are misclassifying a number of these workers as independent contractors or using other illegal wage and hour practices to deny overtime to janitors.
