Must employers pay minimum wage to contractors/1099-employees, i.e., not only W2 employees?

More details to this question:
I have been employed as a contractor/advisor for a start-up company. My agreement with the company was that I would work for ISO shares under a company iso shares plan for employees. I never received or saw the plan. After spending many months working full time and overtime for the company, and after leaving the company, I have not received anything from the company for my employment. I do want to receive, at the very least, minimum wage. Can I go after the company to get minimum wage, as a contractor/advisor to the company, and not a W2 employee?

It depends. Did you have a written agreement? What rights did you waive? Contact a local attorney like me to discuss your case further. There are too many unknowns right now.

There might be an issue of mis-qualification you as a contractor.
