Practice question
A firm selects a worker, pays wages, may dismiss the worker, and reserves the right to prescribe the worker’s procedures and work methods. It rarely exercises that last right. Does infrequent intervention by itself defeat the control component?
- Yes, control exists only when every task is supervised continuously
- No, the reserved right to control manner and means is material even if not constantly exercised
- Yes, unless the worker is paid daily
- Yes, because payment of wages excludes control
- No, because wages alone are always conclusive
