809.1 Does your working relationship continue with the person for whom you work?

If the working relationship continues between you and the person you work for, a factor of control generally exists. This relationship tends to indicate an employer-employee relationship.

809.2 How is an on-going working relationship determined?

If you are asked to work frequently on call or when work is made available, a continuing working relationship exists. This is true even under the following conditions:

  1. Services are requested at irregular intervals;

  2. Services are performed on a part-time basis;

  3. Services are obtained on a seasonal basis; or

  4. You only work a short time.
