Policy Purpose

In most working relationships, there is a clear worker/employer relationship. However, parties may contract with each other for the provision of services in a variety of ways. In some cases, the service provider is an independent contractor, not a worker. Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether the service provider is a worker or an independent contractor. Different rights and responsibilities apply under The Workers Compensation Act (the “Act”) depending on the characterization of the relationship.
