In this field, sawmill operators generally perform services on the purchaser of the
services’ premises. There are no fixed work hours, and the pay is computed on a footage
basis. These factors may exist in either employment relationships or in independent
contractor cases. Give these factors less weight than other factors.
The principal factors that indicate control are when:
-
•
the operator must perform the services personally on a full-time basis;
-
•
the company must approve the worker to hire and fire assistants;
-
•
the operator has no business expenses or opportunity for profit or risk of loss;
-
•
the operator is not paid on a lump sum basis;
-
•
the operator may end the relationship at any time; and
-
•
the operator cannot work for others.
