Employment law is complicated. Nothing better encapsulates this than the Borello test, a long series of questions that, depending on what business you’re in and assuming that you’re addressing a situation where the ABC test does not apply, determines whether a worker may be classified as an independent contractor.

Although it’s tempting to wish for a one-size-fits-all answer that magically determines whether a worker, or a group of workers, is classified as an employee or a contractor, it’s important to remember that all three parts of the ABC test must be considered when determining classification as each part must be satisfied to classify a worker as a contractor.
