ATTORNEY HIRED FOR DOCUMENT REVIEW WAS AN EMPLOYEE ENTITLED TO UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS, DESPITE THE ATTORNEY’S SIGNING A DOCUMENT INDICATING SHE WAS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department determined claimant, an attorney hired to do document review, was an employee of a law firm (Brody) entitled to unemployment insurance benefits, despite the attorney’s signing a document indicating she was an independent contractor:

The record reflects that Brody paid claimant an hourly set wage, required her to work at least 10 hours per day, Monday through Friday, and required her to obtain approval to take time off. Claimant was required to undergo training on how to do the work, was provided with a computer and workspace, and was assigned documents to review. She was, moreover, required to document her hours and meet with her supervisor to review her submitted hours and receive updates on the case. Claimant did not have an independent legal practice or business … .

The foregoing constitutes substantial evidence supporting the Board’s determination that Brody retained sufficient overall control of claimant’s services to establish an employer-employee relationship, notwithstanding evidence in the record that might support a contrary conclusion … . A different result is not compelled by the facts that claimant signed a written agreement labelling her as an independent contractor and believed that she performed in that capacity … . Matter of Philip (Brody–Commissioner of Labor), 2018 NY Slip Op 05648, Third Dept 8-2-18
