    Independent Contractor or Employee: Court Tackles Issue Once Again

    By Christian Petrucci | August 3, 2017

    As outlined in this space back in June, the nature of an ­employment relationship is a question of law that is to be determined on a ­case-by-case basis.

Workers' Compensation Appeal Board, (Kriner's Quality Roofing Services and UEGF), 224 C.D. 2016, ­provided a springboard for discussing under what circumstances an injured worker can be considered an employee versus an independent contractor. Hawbaker also ­offered a comparison between the ­"traditional" factors in determining whether an ­employer-employee relationship exists and the ­specific statutory requirements of the 2010 Construction Workplace Misclassification Act (CWMA), which sought to codify criteria for ­classification of independent contractors in construction settings.
