DANCE INSTRUCTOR WAS AN EMPLOYEE OF THE FOUNDATION CHARTERED BY THE NYS BOARD OF REGENTS TO SET UP ARTISTIC PROGRAMS IN SCHOOLS (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department determined the claimant, a dance instructor, was an employee of the foundation which was chartered by the New York State Board of Regents to provide artistic programs in schools. Claimant was therefore entitled to unemployment insurance benefits:

The evidence adduced at the hearing established that the Foundation retained control over important aspects of claimant’s and other teaching artists’ services. To that end, the Foundation solicited and worked with schools to establish an appropriate artistic program to meet their needs and budget, screened the artists, matched their skills and experience to the schools’ needs and set the artists’ rate of pay, which was less than the Foundation received by contract from the Department, and helps artists work in the academic settings. The Foundation paid the artists directly, upon receipt of weekly invoices provided by the Foundation and completed by the artist documenting hours worked, provided guidelines for them to follow and monitored their progress and hours to stay within the schools’ budgets and program plans. The Foundation fielded and attempted to resolve complaints from schools regarding artists’ conduct or performance and found replacements when needed, and its officers attended the final performances and held evaluation meetings at the end with school personnel and the artists. Matter of Pearson (Commissioner of Labor), 2018 NY Slip Op 08588, Third Dept 12-13-18
