Delivery Driver Class Actions in New Jersey
If you deliver packages, furniture, or appliances and are classified as an independent contractor, you may be entitled to significant back pay, unpaid benefits, and reimbursed expenses. In New Jersey, the law is on your side.
New Jersey uses a strict legal standard known as the "ABC Test" to determine if a worker is truly an independent contractor or an employee. Under this law, a company cannot simply "label" you a contractor to avoid paying overtime or benefits. One of the most important rules of the ABC Test is: If you perform the core service of the company (like delivering for a delivery company), you are almost always an employee, not a contractor.
While every case is unique, the law is simple: If you are a delivery driver working on a regular basis for a delivery company, you are likely misclassified.
Final Mile Legal represents delivery drivers across New Jersey in wage and hour class actions. We pursue unpaid overtime, unlawful deductions, expense reimbursement, and penalties for driver misclassification.
