[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 2036113, member: 60252"] If you are terminated, which includes having your contract cancelled, and have been driving full time, you could easily argue that you were an employee. No one can force you to form your own corporation and hire people. Especially a truly independent contractor should not be forced to hire employees. Can you imagine telling your plumber that he needs to hire 5 people if he doesn't want to? Fedex is changing the rules in the middle of the game, and dozens of people have been able to collect unemployment even though the contract says otherwise. I know of at least 4 people in my old terminal that the UI department found to be eligible for UI. If you sign a eaiver and take cash, you may be giving up money. UI can be over $400 to over $500 a week for as much as a year, depending on local laws. So unless you get more from the waiver than you could get from UI, at least seek an attorney's advice. [/QUOTE]
