Week 1 (January 18 & 19)

  • January 18.Topic: Defining Employer and Employee. Read Casebook, Chapter 2.  As you read for this week, consider the following questions:

What are the various tests for determining whether someone is an employee? What are the factors of each test? How do they operate? As you explore various tests, consider why and how the tests differ from one another. Consider developing a framework for how to answer questions related to whether a person is an employee or not.

Have you ever worked as an independent contractor? Why do some companies want to have workers classified as independent contractors?  Should a worker want to be an independent contractor or an employee?  Are current definitions of employee sufficient to account for most individual’s work status?  Who is in the best position to define employment relationships?  The government? Employers?  The market? Should the concept of employee be defined by a rule or standard?

  • January 19.Topic: Defining Employer and Employee. Continue discussion from last class. Be prepared to apply the economic realities test to the facts of the Lauritzen  Consider what framework you will use to navigate a research question regarding whether a person is an employee. We also will discuss paper topic selection.
