Cultural Care and other au pair agencies may have misclassified its employees as independent contractors.  Local childcare consultants (LCCs) or community organizers, as they are sometimes called, work many hours and are on call at all times to handle the substantial work to carry out the au pair programs.  These employees have often been misclasssified as independent contractors and compensated far less that the law requires.  If you were an LCC and think you may have been improperly compensated, please contact us.
