Could be...

...but if she truly is an IC, and for those of us who are as well, since we work on contract and (allegedly) set our wages and terms, I'm still wondering whether a state labor board would be of any help. 

For instance, if you refused to pay a painter who worked on your house, I don't think any labor board would touch this, and it would be up to him to sue and/or file a lien on the house to scare you into paying.  Eventually, when you tried to sell, you'd have to satisfy the lien.  But if you were a painting contractor who refused to pay one of his regular subcontractors (closer to our situation) would this make a difference to a labor board?

A lien, hmmmm........Don't know much about whether this situation would fit the criteria, but I googled liens and came up with one of many sites with state-by-state forms for filing liens:  http://www.uslegalforms.com/constructionliens/  that might actually be something to think about... If the company owned a building or even assets (office equipment, etc.)
