Hello and thank you for any help in advance. I worked this past saturday as a photographer as a self contracted employee 1099. I worked from 7am to 2pm and used my own camera, tripod and other equipment. I used the memory card provided by my employer. I photographed about 25 to 30 teams with about 10 players each, and each photo package starting at a minimum of $10. My employer was paid for each package that saturday.
Today employer calls me to tell me theyre not going to pay me a measly $140 for my work that day. Employer says theyre unsatisfied with the photos and has to have them fixed because of distortion, so she had to pay someone to fix them. My employer made thousands on sales and yet refuses to pay me for my services and assisting another photographer. Is there any legal action I can take. Its not about the measly money, its about this employer believing time is free. I really couldve spent the day hanging out with my cool kids.
