For certain occupations exempt from the ABC test, California instead applies the older multifactor 'Borello' test. Under Borello, what is the most significant single factor in deciding employee versus contractor status?

Explicación

The Borello test (from S.G. Borello & Sons v. Department of Industrial Relations) weighs multiple factors, but the most significant is whether the hirer has the right to control the manner and means by which the work is performed. Secondary factors include who supplies tools, the skill required, opportunity for profit or loss, and permanence of the relationship. The label the parties use is not controlling; the economic reality and right-to-control govern.
