CRISIS COUNSELOR WAS AN EMPLOYEE.

The Third Department determined a counselor (called a “specialist”) who worked for Crisis Care Network (CCN), a provider of crisis intervention services to employers which have experienced tragedies, was an employee entitled to unemployment insurance benefits. CCN contracts with an employer's designated employee assistance program (EAP):

… [A]fter contracting with an EAP, CCN recruits specialists from its self-created database and screens them to ensure that they have the qualifications required by the EAP. If a specialist has the proper qualifications, CCN offers that individual the assignment at a set hourly rate of pay. If accepted, as in claimant's case, the parties enter into a written agreement governing that particular assignment and CCN informs the specialist, based upon instructions from the EAP, of the date, time and location that the specialist is to report. While on assignment, the specialist must represent that he or she is from the EAP and is not permitted to solicit clients, although there is no prohibition against a specialist otherwise engaging in private practice or working for CCN's competitors. Except in very limited circumstances, CCN pays specialists within 45 days after services are rendered upon the submission of the proper paper work by the specialist regardless of whether it has yet been paid by the EAP, and CCN also provides reimbursement for travel expenses. CCN also provides voluntary training. If a specialist is unable to report to an assignment, he or she must notify CCN and cannot select a replacement. Furthermore, CCN provides specialists with informational handouts to be used on assignments, as well as professional guidelines that are based upon the expectations of the EAP, and the specialists must provide reports summarizing the counseling sessions per the requirements of the EAP. Matter of Torres (Crisis Care Network, Inc.–Commissioner of Labor), 2016 NY Slip Op 01710, 3rd Dept 3-10-16
