Most likley, you would not be held to a non-compete as an independent contractor. However, be aware that you are likely still considered by law to be an employee. Your employer is violating the law by classifying, or misclassifying, you as an independent contractor. Also, depending on your job duties and weekly salary, you may be entitled to overtime pay.
