Claimant Was an Employee of an Outfit Which Advertises for Security Guards on Craigslist
The Third Department determined claimant was an employee of Precinct, which advertises for security guards on Craigslist:
Precinct places advertisements on Craigslist seeking security guards, although we note that claimant was referred to Precinct by another security guard. Precinct interviews applicants about their experience and verifies that the applicants are licensed as security guards in New York. As to claimant, he was assigned by Precinct to a hotel. Precinct negotiated with the hotel in setting claimant’s rate of pay. Precinct billed the hotel based upon the negotiated hourly rate and paid claimant after subtracting one third of claimant’s pay as a commission. If claimant could not report to work on a certain day, he was required to inform Precinct, and claimant could not find his own replacement.
