Practice question: Economic Dependence Test

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A specialist maintains a genuinely separate practice, serves several clients, invests substantially in facilities, sets methods independently, and bears managerial profit and loss. A client accounts for a large part of one year’s revenue. The specialist argues that the revenue share alone conclusively establishes employment, without examining the other circumstances. Which is best?
  1. One large customer always creates employment
  2. The overall economic activity must be evaluated; a revenue concentration alone does not conclusively decide status
  3. Every specialist is automatically an employee
  4. Independent investment is never relevant
  5. Payment for any service necessarily creates regular employment
