SPECIAL EDUCATION PROVIDER NOT AN EMPLOYEE.

The Third Department determined claimant, a provider of special education services, was not an employee of Mid Island, which was under contract with the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) to provide such services:

Although Mid Island would contact claimant to let her know whether a student in her geographic area needed special education services, Mid Island did not assign students to claimant; she was free to accept or reject a referral from Mid Island … . Mid Island also did not control the scheduling of services, which would be arranged between the student’s parents and claimant … , and did not dictate the type, location or manner of delivery of the services that were to be provided, which would be specified in the student’s individualized education program … . Once services were provided, any parental complaints were handled by NYCDOE, not Mid Island, and if a teacher needed to be replaced, NYCDOE would direct Mid Island to do so. Mid Island never performed any type of performance evaluation of claimant … . The reporting requirements governing submission of session and progress notes also came from NYCDOE, and such notes were neither required nor reviewed by Mid Island … .

Claimant was required under the parties’ agreement to maintain her own malpractice insurance and cover her own expenses, and she was not provided with any supplies or benefits … . The rate of payment was established by NYCDOE, and, if Mid Island did not receive payment from NYCDOE, it was not obliged to remit payment to claimant for services provided to a student… . Matter of Wright (Mid Is. Therapy Assoc. LLC–Commissioner of Labor), 2015 NY Slip Op 08897, 3rd Dept 12-3-15
