[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 1873462, member: 60252"] It is obvious that you haven't paid attention. If you hire a roofer, it is a one time project, and clearly meets the rules for contractor status. But fedex is in the package delivery business. It is their core business and they use delivery drivers every day. What doesn't make sense is for you to post nonsense.If fedex hired a roofer to fix their roof, that would fall under contractor status. But if fedex hired a roofer to perform checks and maintenance on their roof every day, on a full time basis, it would be clear that the roofer was an employee. If fedex contracted with a roofing company to supply someone to perform every day full time for fedex, and that roofer relied solely on fedex for all his hours of work, that worker would maybe fall under the co-employee status. This isn't new. Personnell staffing agencies have been getting in trouble over this type of 'contract' arrangement for years. Fedex has just started thinking that they could 'contract' with staffing companies that fedex calls 'ISPs.' In reality, that is all an ISP is- a staffing agency for fedex, and a vehicle leasing company. The ISP in almost every case is solel;y reliant on fedex for income from his 'business.' [/QUOTE]
