COMPUTER DESKTOP ENGINEER NOT AN EMPLOYEE OF JOB PLACEMENT SERVICE.

The Third Department determined claimant, a computer desktop engineer, was not an employee of Logic, an information-technology job-placement service:

Even assuming, without deciding, that claimant’s IT position was a professional one, as the Board concluded, we similarly find that the record lacks substantial evidence that Logic exercised “overall control . . . over important aspects of the services performed other than results or means” … . The unrefuted testimony of claimant and Logic’s principal is that, aside from recruiting claimant and paying him, Logic had little knowledge of the services that he provided to OSP or his job duties, had no control over his assignments or work performance and did not evaluate or supervise his work. Matter of Desravines (Logic Corp.–Commissioner of Labor), 2017 NY Slip Op 00361, 3rd Dept 1-19-17
