‘Fabricated résumé’ and academic misrepresentation in misclassification suit — Staffing quote of the week

October 31, 2017

“In this case, he produced a fabricated résumé. He represented that he got his degree from this three-year program, which he did not complete. That’s dishonest,” US Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley told attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan in describing the client in the GrubHub independent contractor misclassification trial, Ars Technica reported. “Number two, while this case was ongoing, he applied again to work for GrubHub,” the judge continued. “I don't know why. He used a different name, a different email address, and when he was asked whether he had worked for GrubHub before, he said no.” Liss-Riordan’s client argues he was wrongly misclassified as an independent contractor. Liss-Riordan, in separate lawsuits, is also suing human cloud, ride-sharing firm Uber over misclassification.
