Workers Comp Information
Independent contractor
1) How does the law determine if I am an employee or an independent contractor?
Sometimes there is a question of whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor. The courts will usually look to the relationship and determine whether the employer had the right to control how the employee performed the job. If that is unclear, the court may look to the nature of the relationship between the employee and the employer. If the employee is substantially economically dependent upon the employer then court may determine that an employee-employer relationship exists.
