ABC Test: Independent Contractor v. Employee

Use the following checklist to determine whether a worker meets the definition of an independent contractor for classification purposes of the Labor Code, Unemployment Insurance Code, and the wage orders of the Industrial Welfare Commission. Please note that in order for the worker to be classified as an independent contractor, all three elements of the test must be met.

Yes No

A. Is the worker free from the control and direction of the District in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact?

B. Is the worker performing work that is outside the usual course of the District’s business?

C. Is the worker engaged in a customarily independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed?

If the answer to any of the above was “No,” the worker is an employee for the purposes of the Labor Code, the Unemployment Insurance Code, and the wage orders of the Industrial Welfare Commission. If all of the answers to the above were “Yes,” the worker is an independent contractor.

By signing below, the Contractor and District Representative certify that they have reviewed District guidelines, and that the information is true and correct.

Contractor further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the District, its Board, trustees, officers, agents, representatives, employees, and volunteers from all employment-related claims arising out of the employment relationship between the District and Contractor or Contractor’s sub-contractors or employees, including claims of misclassification under Labor Code section 2775.

District and Contractor acknowledge Labor Code section 2775 and its potential impact on independent contractor relationships. District and Contractor agree that (a) Contractor will remain free from the control and direction of the District in connection with the performance of the Services; (b) the scope of work contemplated by this Agreement is outside the usual course of the District’s business; and (c) Contractor is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as the Services performed under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 2775, Contractor desires to maintain independent contractor status.
