INTERPRETERS ARE EMPLOYEES.

The Third Department determined interpreters were employees of CP Language Institute, Inc (CPLI):

The record establishes that CPLI advertises for language service interpreters, like claimant, to provide translation services for its clients. An interpreter is required to submit a resume and, after being interviewed by CPLI and receiving a sufficient score on a written language proficiency test, CPLI adds the interpreter to its roster. CPLI maintains a file of each interpreter’s qualifications that includes a resume, reference letters, proficiency exam and availability. CPLI notifies an interpreter of assignments, which can be accepted or declined by the interpreter. Once an assignment is accepted, however, the interpreter is required to notify CPLI if he or she becomes unavailable and CPLI, not the interpreter, provides a substitute if needed.

Furthermore, claimant signed an agreement with CPLI that included guidelines regarding punctuality, attire, performance and conduct when providing services to CPLI clients. Although claimant could work for other agencies that provided translation services, she was subject to a 12-month noncompete clause following termination of her relationship with CPLI. In addition, claimant was provided with a picture identification badge with CPLI’s name. Claimant was paid by CPLI following the submission of time sheets, regardless of whether CPLI was paid by the client. Any complaints from a client were handled by CPLI. Matter of Karapetyan (Commissioner of Labor), 2015 NY Slip Op 09324, 3rd Dept 12-17-15
