We all should be paid fairly for our work. Yet many people who sell products for direct sales companies never see a return on their time and money.
Multi-level marketing companies (MLMs) control individual sellers’ messaging, sales tactics, and how they can promote products. Despite this control, MLMs misclassify sellers as independent contractors to deny them legal protections, employee benefits, and reimbursements for business expenses such as starter kits, product samples, marketing materials, office supplies, and cell phone and internet service.
Clarkson Law Firm has filed a growing number of class action lawsuits against MLMs – including Beachbody, Herbalife
, and Rodan + Fields– for violating California’s labor laws. The plaintiffs seek unpaid wages, overtime compensation, a change to the MLMs’ practices, and other penalties. These lawsuits come at an important time when companies are increasingly taking advantage of sellers who are misclassified as independent contractors.
