Yes, you might. Under AB5, the determination of whether you are an independent contractor depends on the ABC test:
- The worker is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the
work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact; - The worker performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business; and
- The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same
