Practice question

A claimant proves only that certain work benefits a farm and has recurred over several years. The farm disputes any employment relationship, and the claimant has not established the required right of control or other sufficient relationship evidence. The claimant invokes Article 295 alone as conclusively proving both employment and regular status. Which is correct?
  1. Article 295 makes every beneficial service an employment relationship.
  2. Length of service always removes the need to prove employment.
  3. Article 295 classifies employment; it does not replace proof that the employer-employee relationship exists.
  4. Farm ownership alone conclusively proves method control over every service provider.
  5. Every recurring task is automatically an employment contract.
