I represented Warner Bros, Fox, Universal, Entertainment Partners and Cast & Crew. Even performers that are hired for 1 day or scene are considered employees no matter what is in the contract. I defended a lot of cases involving stunt men and women.



Michael, if you don't mind, I'm curious. I used to work H/R both in officer and consulting capacities. Was the daily worker employee qualification based upon the federal test or a California state law?

btw, As an employer rep, I HATE California's labor laws. WAY too liberal. They drove me nuts!! Vacation accruals that never expire and I can't force them to take; they don't seem to ever actually believe in firing for cause; they allowed a contractor who never even worked on site to collect UI. Uhhhhhh.

This from a former SEIU local Executive Board member and delegate to the NYC Labor Council - so I am fairly pro-employee - but CA is ridiculous!
