Math Tutor Was an Independent Contractor, Not an Employee

The Third Department affirmed the decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board finding that claimant, a math tutor, was an independent contractor, not an employee:

Although claimant maintains that he was erroneously considered an independent contractor in connection with earnings received from tutoring services through TestQuest, Inc. and that such funds should be utilized as covered employment to establish his claim, we cannot agree.  As noted earlier, TestQuest, Inc. tutors such as claimant were deemed by this Court to be independent contractors (Matter of Leazard [TestQuest, Inc.–Commissioner of Labor], 74 AD3d at 1415-1416), which decision is conclusive and binding upon all such persons employed by TestQuest, Inc. (see Labor Law § 620 [1] [b]).  As such, those earnings cannot qualify for inclusion as remuneration in the base periods… . Matter of Tkachyshyn…, 516210. 3rd Dept 9-26-13
