Can an agency dock my pay for any reason as an independent contractor in the state of PA?
The agency i work for had us sign new contracts this year. They have our documentation on a sliding fee scale, down to $0 per hour if the documentation is more than 6 days from the point of service.
Is this legal and do I have any recourse, other than to find a new job?

The fundamental legal issue is whether you are misclassified as an independent contractor rather than an employee. Under Pennsylvania law, an employer controls the method and manner of performing work. You should consult a lawyer about the details of the tests applied by Pa. and the IRS. If you are a bona fide independent contractor, the contract between you and the entity for which you provide services controls the compensation due to you.
