Practice question
Workers are admittedly directly engaged to perform services. The company invokes independent-contractor status and relies solely on the title in its form. Under Ditiangkin, which is best?
- The title conclusively determines all facts
- Admitted direct engagement can never matter
- The company must substantiate the asserted independent-contractor status; a contractual label alone is insufficient
- Every service provider is automatically an employee without inquiry
- The claimant need never provide any evidence in any relationship dispute
