Practice question
Two workers serve the same government agency. One is a compensated appointed employee below compulsory retirement age; the other is a genuine independent contractual provider with no employer-employee relationship. The agency says the word contractual used in both documents necessarily excludes both. Which is best?
- Any document title overrides the statute
- All service providers must have identical membership
- A nonpermanent appointment always defeats coverage
- No government employee is covered
- The actual statutory employment relationship and exclusions govern; the shared label alone does not establish identical results
Legal references
- RA8291, Sections2(d) and3: https://lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra1997/ra_8291_1997.html
