An employee has an ongoing employment relationship; he or she shows up for work, usually Monday to Friday but it can be any specific schedule, such as every Tuesday and Wednesday, and has a specific job that is part of the functioning of the business that you are in. A contractor is hired to do just one specific thing. Even if that contractor does lots of jobs for you, the contractor is specifically hired for each job. With a contractor, you are paying a business for the service that they provide. With an employee, you are paying a person for his or her time.

How does the courts differentiate between an employee and and independent contractor?
Courts don't make the decision, law does. There are federal DLSE/Dept of Labor Standards and Enforcement, IRS rules, and state mandates providing the definition of independent contractor vs employee. Generally, if you are an employee, you would see tax deductions on your check stubs, and a W-2 at the end of the year.l If you are a valid/legal independent contractor, you would receive a 1099. There are very specific rules for both. The answer above is wrong in every way. Courts often need to rule on whether worker X was an employee or not. How the employer pays you is irrelevant to decisions about whether a worker is an employee. IRS and USDOL rules are the factors that courts follow.

What are the deficiencies of the control test the multiple test and the integration test?
The control test states that if a person is an employee, then the employer has the right to not only state what needs to be done, but also how it should be done. This is not what happens when someone hires a contractor as they are usually considered experts in their field, hence it is up to the contractor to decide how a job should be best done. For example a person who hires a mechanic to fix their car would not be considered an employee using the control test as the person would only specify what needs doing but not how the job should be done as they lack technical knowledge. The problem with the control test is that there are many employers who lack technical knowledge to tell their employees what to do. For example a supervisor may lack the technical knowledge to tell an engineer how to do a job but is still employed by the company and is still considered an employee. Hence the test fails to address the problem of identifying the employer/employee relationship. The integration test looks at whether the person performing the services is an integral part of the company or whether they conduct business similar to someone performing services as a contractor. If they are integral to the organisation they are considered an employee. The problem with this test is that someone can still be a contractor but also be an integral part of an organisation. For example a doctor could be a vital part of an organisation but still be a contractor at the same time, hence the need for a better test. This problem lead to the development of the multi factor test. This test basically gives a weighting to the following criteria * Degree of control * Hours of work * Mode of remuneration * Right to delegate * Provision of equipment * Entitlement to annual leave * Method of paying tax * Parties belief as to their working arraignment While this test is the most thorough of all three tests it is still not without its problem. The main problem being is what weighting does the court apply to each criterion and to what percentage will rule a person as being either an employee or a contractor.
