Control Test Not Sole Determinant

In a significant development, it has been established that the control test is not the sole criterion for determining employer-employee relationships under the Employees' Compensation Act. This means that other factors will also be considered when assessing whether a worker is an employee or not. The Employees' Compensation Act is a crucial piece of legislation that provides financial compensation to workers who suffer injuries or disabilities during the course of their employment. The control test has traditionally been used to determine whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor. However, this development suggests that the courts will now consider a broader range of factors when making this determination.
