Practice question: Burden of Proof

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A claimant names a company as her employer but supplies no relevant proof that it engaged or paid her or held employment powers over her. The company denies the relationship. Does her allegation alone satisfy her initial burden?
  1. Yes, every employment allegation is conclusively true
  2. No; she must establish the denied relationship by substantial evidence
  3. Yes, unless the company proves a negative beyond reasonable doubt
  4. Yes, because economic need replaces evidence
  5. Yes, because all companies are employers of all claimants
