A former accountant who says he served as vice president of the football team sued the Dolphins in federal court Thursday, claiming the organization incorrectly classified him as a contract worker — not an employee — and owes him unpaid benefits.

Ronald Katz, 63, of Boca Raton, says he worked for the Dolphins from 2008 to 2016 and made $600,000 a year, or $50,000 a month. Now he wants what he says is due to any other regular full-time Dolphin’s employee: a pension, benefits and health insurance.

A spokesman for the Dolphins declined to comment about the lawsuit.
