Practice question
A worker proves repeated service and the owner’s right to inspect the finished output but supplies no evidence of a right to direct means or methods. The employment relationship itself is disputed. She argues that the owner’s interest in quality necessarily establishes method control without further proof. Which is best?
- Quality review always conclusively proves method control
- All paid output is automatically regular employment
- The claimant may replace evidence with an assumption about ownership
- The employer necessarily controls every person on its property
- Result review alone does not establish the disputed right to control methods; that distinction must be supported by substantial evidence
