¶ C, lines 31-36. Anоther driver, Wаlter Wаywаrd, was driving drunk after drinking cherry vоdka shоts at PruBerrys. Wayward was easily distracted by all the activity, and Wayward crashed his vehicle into the old Manias Manor building that was being prepared for demolition. (See Exhibit 4.) Because there was no fencing around that building, once Wayward hit the building, bricks easily fell upon Wayward's car causing much more damage than if Wayward had hit a "regular building." Because of the extensive damage to Wayward’s car, Wayward decides to sue the owner of Manias Manor and the demolition crew. Under "new" negligence law, even though Wayward had some fault in incident, the result of Wayward's suit would likely be:
A techniciаn instаlled sаtellite televisiоn dishes at subscribers' hоmes. He is paid a flat rate fоr each installation or repair he performed. He worked very long hours and usually 6 days a week. The technician did this work for the same satellite company for about 20 months. The company did not prohibit him from working for other companies, but his long hours and travel time between installation sites largely precluded him from doing so. The work required some training and certification. Basic computer skills, tool usage proficiency, and knowledge of requirements for electrical work were required to do the job. The technician used his own vehicle, paid for his own gas and insurance, and provided his own tools. The company provided satellite dishes, modems, and other hardware. The technician did not hire any assistants. Had he done so, they would not have been paid any more to cover the cost. The technician worked without supervision. However, the company required that installations be done in accordance with their standards and monitored installation quality remotely. If customer complaints were received, the technician would have to return to the installation sites and fix the problems, with no additional compensation. The technician was expected to perform all scheduled installations, although occasional rearrangement of schedules was allowed. The technician was not required to wear a uniform and company logo. The technician sued for unpaid overtime work under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Discuss whether the technician is an employee with the right to receive overtime pay, or, as the company maintains, an independent contractor with no right to overtime pay. Explain your answer using the economic reality test, ABC test, or common law test.
