Claimant Who Provided Computer-Training for Company’s Clients Properly Found to Be Employee of Company

In affirming the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board’s determination claimant was an employee of a company (Eden Technologies) which provides computer-training personnel to clients, the Third Department wrote:

The existence of an employer-employee relationship is a factual determination for the Board to resolve and its determination will not be disturbed if supported by substantial evidence … .  This Court has held that “‘an organization which screens the services of professionals, pays them at a set rate and then offers their services to clients exercises sufficient control to create an employment relationship'” … . In this case, there is proof that Eden sought, interviewed and selected claimant to perform services at the request of a client. On a weekly basis, claimant was required to submit time sheets provided by Eden, including information about what services were provided.  Eden then paid claimant directly on a biweekly basis at a set hourly rate and billed the client separately. Additionally, certain restrictions were placed upon claimant’s provision of services to Eden’s clients and other entities during her employment and for one year following separation.  Thus, although there is evidence that could support a different result, we find substantial evidence to support the Board’s decision… . Matter of Lamar…, 516039, 3rd Dept 9-19-13
