More details to this question:
I work at a salon as a independent contractor and I get a 1099 at the end of the year. However they try to control the days and hours that I work and I feel like that doesn’t seem right. I was wondering what my rights are as a independent contractor.

The truth is you are likely an employee, and calling you an independent contractor is tax and employment fraud by the employer. Call the NYS Dept. of Labor.

Control is key. You may very well be an employee. Are you paid less than minimum wage or do you work more than 40 hours a week with no overtime? Call some employment lawyers.
