I have been a teacher at a local dance school for over 20 years, and was let go a few weeks ago without warning or reason. My accountant has always told me that I am considered a statutory employee and that I can collect unemployment. He is out of town and I am having a hard time finding anyone who understands the interesting status of us dance teachers. Does anyone have any experience or words of wisdom to share? I'm a little lost right now...
