Can you apply for unemployment if your full time job is now being turned into an independent contractor?

You should first contact your employment security office because the employer is relieving himself from the liability of paying payroll taxes that support the state's unemployment funding. Independent contractors cannot receive unemployment benefits by the definition in labor law. If an employer controls the conditions of your work (i.e.hours, workplace, conditions, requirements, etc.) you are an employee, NOT an independent contractor.

Does the legal doctrine respondeat superior apply to an independent contractor?
Respondeat superior - Latin for "let the master speak" does not apply to the acts of an independent contractor. Of course, it all depends on your jurisdiction. Different states have different laws, but normally, you cannot sue an employer for the acts of an independent contractor. Of course, to make things more difficult, each state has its own definitions of what an independent contractor are. Generally, the more control the employer has over a person, the lower the chances are that the person is an independent contractor. Bottom line - contact a lawyer.
