Practice question
A logistics company recruits riders, sets their compensation and directs them through its manager to fulfill a retailer account. It argues the riders are independent solely because customers receive the final deliveries. What is the response?
- The existence of customers eliminates wage payment
- Only the recipient of a parcel can be an employer
- Every client-facing worker is an independent contractor
- The actual company-worker powers govern; serving the client’s deliveries does not alone prove independence
- No logistics company can hire employees
