Employee misclassification. Under this law, most California workers are presumed to be employees—not independent contractors—unless employers can meet all three parts of the ABC Test:

💥 Why AB5 and the ABC Test Make WRCA More Urgent Than Ever

California’s labor laws just got sharper—and your rights are on the line. Assembly Bill 5 (AB5) changed the rules of the game, and if you’re misclassified as an “independent contractor,” you could be missing out on overtime, benefits, and legal protections. That’s why the Workers Rights Compliance Alliance (WRCA) exists: to fight back, hold employers accountable, and empower you with the tools to know and claim your rights.

⚖️ What Is AB5 and Why Does It Matter?

AB5 was passed to crack down on one of the most widespread forms of modern wage theft: employee misclassification. Under this law, most California workers are presumed to be employees—not independent contractors—unless employers can meet all three parts of the ABC Test:

  1. You control your own work, without company interference
  2. Your work is outside the core business of the hiring company
  3. You run your own independent business in that trade

If even one part fails? You’re an employee—and you’re owed all the legal protections that come with it.

🚨 What’s at Stake?

Being misclassified means you may be missing out on:

  • Overtime pay
  • Minimum wage guarantees
  • Paid sick leave and rest breaks
  • Unemployment benefits
  • Workers’ compensation coverage
  • Legal protection against discrimination and retaliation
  • The right to unionize

You’re also paying double taxes—because misclassified workers cover both the employer and employee share of Social Security and Medicare.

And if you’re injured or laid off? You could be left completely unprotected.

🛑 Employers Are Still Breaking the Law

Despite AB5, thousands of employers in California are still misclassifying workers—intentionally or negligently—to cut costs. Gig companies, staffing agencies, and even home healthcare businesses have racked up millions in fines.

But here’s the kicker: most misclassified workers don’t even know they’re being exploited.

That’s why WRCA was created.
