From what I was always told...they always considered “independent contractors”...no heath benefits....no over time etc, etc.
Sometimes yes, mostly no. Depends on the test, IRS uses a different IC v. EE test than does Dept of Industrial Relations than does the Franchise Tax Board.
A PW might be an IC for IRS purposes but could be a EE for insurance/overtime/wages purposes.
It really depends. Its a fact specific test. Nothing is B&W in law.
