What factors are relevant in determining if I am an independent contractor under California labor law?
Court decisions have provided some guidelines as to which factors are relevant to the determination of whether a worker is an independent contractor or an employee. These include: • The degree of control that an employer has over a worker; • The degree to which the worker is engaged in an independent business; • Whether the person performing services is engaged in an occupation or business distinct from that of the employer’s business; • Who supplies the instrumentalities, tools, and the place for the person doing the work; • The skill required in the particular occupation; • The length of time for which the services are to be performed; • The degree of permanence of the working relationship; • The method of payment, whether by time or by the job.
