Ron Prosser, the CEO, relies on hiring contractors because it favors the business. Here are the reasons why: Contractors are burdened by all of the liability, has no benefits, must still ahere to the company's hours, dress code, and corporation policies, minimal job security, have no guarantee of work/pay and are responsible for paying taxes since the company doesn't have to payroll tax.
The company makes sures to exploit all this to their advantage. For example, I have seen the company strand technicians in customer's work sites located in the middle of no where and not pay them because they were unhappy with the work done. If the customer or the employee retaliates by reporting them to labor regulators, Ron denies having any connection with the technicians.
This is despite the fact Amplex Group Services requires you to wear their uniform and identification badge on the client site. Technicians receive their paycheck from a shell company located in Las Vegas. This company has a highly skilled lawyer on retainer to defend their unlawful business practice. Multiple lawsuits have been filed against this company.
However, Ron has a deep pocket and knows that he can get away with doing this. This company recruits its technician by harping the advantages of being a contractor. Work flexibility, great pay, and etc. Rest assured this is all a facade. Ron has created a system where he makes his employees work for every penny while limiting liability to the company. The system is also designed to skirt both labor and tax regulatory agencies. I suspect there will be a lot changes going on at the company, of course to their favor, since California passed new rules regarding on classification of contractors.

You Should Sue And Win More Than Money
AUTHOR: Jim - (United States)

If you've been doing this work for this person in 2020, then I would find a labor attorney for a really important reason - you would not be a contractor. Under AB5, which took effect in 2020, it has become almost impossible for you to be considered a contractor under California law. Evidence of this would include:
- Working at the explicit direction of the company under their control
- Wearing the company "uniform" when at a customer's site
It doesn't matter what Federal law is in this matter. CA law makes this pretty clear. Their high-priced lawyer won't stand a chance against AB5; there have already been multiple companies fined by the state and settling cases like this out of court in CA. Make sure you find a lawyer who can take the case on contingency; not only will they be heavily fined, BUT they will owe all of the taxes, SDI, etc....you've been burdened with. You may even be able to ue under PAGA which really screws the employer.
And no, AB5 will not work in their favor. They have a couple of choices: they can either shut their doors in CA, or start hiring their contractors. Even if they happen to locate themselves in NV, they can't avoid AB5 if they're doing work in CA. To be honest, they'll probably shutter their doors in CA because the type of work they do would be too expensive to perform in CA since everyone needs to be an employee.
If you haven't done work in 2020 for them, then you can't really sue. But I would encourage those who still work there...to sue if they're still contractors. They have to be employees now.
