If you can afford to quit, do it. If not, look for another job while there.If he fires you, you don't qualify for unemployment as an IC. If you decide to quit, no need to give notice - he's a louse.
If he is paying him as an independent contractor, he is not paying for unemployment insurance. If he has worked somewhere else, he may be eligible for unemployment, but not based on the earnings he made from this job.

Actually, under 1099 the OP is responsible for unemployment insurance payments and all that. If he tries to file for unemployment he may be presented with a rather large bill and not a check.
Actually this is not your employer. You are not an employee. While that means you can set your own hours, he can wave bye-bye, and breaks are unpaid if you take them. No benes, you're not an employee.
Exactly! Read the bolded part again! You can take as many breaks as you'd like to, but they're unpaid. You only bill for the hours you actually work.
1099 is such a scam, the true fact is, that if they assign you hours, then you are an employee. its a scam for them to get out of paying taxes and such.
Question for the OP. Why are you working at a job which pays less than minimum wage and are a 1099. Other than being an illegal alien working in the United States, why did you accept this position and compensation?
I have two college degrees but had tough time finding work. My majors are in IT and Finance. IT has mostly contract jobs. I want a long term position. I just take any job that come to me first. Right now I'm applying jobs for finance. I graduated on 09, the bad year to find work. Hopefully I'll land one soon. I'm willing to learn and grow but seems like employers want years experience when I apply.

Network related. I know I can land a job but mostly contracts and waiting for the right one takes too much time so I just work any job as long I have some money but the employer I have now is like an a s s.
I don't know why we have 1099. The person hire you and they make profit from you. How can they not consider you as an employee ?

Well the whole point of 1099 is that you are your own employer. They are your client, and you have many of them. Not just one. And your many clients did not hire you, they logically will not think of you as an employee.
The company you are providing service to at the moment sounds bad, but I don't think you can blame them entirely for your unhappy situation, if you don't feel like looking for full-time work.
Take your 15 minute break. The idea of getting a lawyer over this is stupid. None would touch the case.
