Case6 Therien, an independent contractor, operated a trucking business. He drove one truck and hired drivers to operate the others. Therien was engaged in the business for several years and has been doing business with City Construction Company.

Google also provided the worker with a mobile phone, tablet, and laptop computer while he worked at Google offices in New York. Google further required that the worker use Google proprietary software and conform to the employee code of conduct in regards to absenteeism, blogging, and dress code. The worker complained about nonpayment of the additional work hours and attempted to…
