Writing Assignment #4 Jоrdаn wоrks аs а prоject coordinator for Blue Ridge Digital (BRD), a marketing and analytics firm. Jordan’s duties include coordinating client deliverables, attending meetings, and submitting weekly reports. Jordan uses their own laptop, has a flexible schedule that they create and manage, is paid bi-weekly, and is supervised by the department director. Maya is the office operations manager and Jordan’s direct supervisor. Maya uses the pronouns “she/her,” and Jordan uses “they/them.” Maya begins sending messages to Jordan that start as work-related but become sexually suggestive over time. Maya also makes repeated unwanted physical advances toward Jordan in the workplace. Maya tells Jordan that if Jordan agrees to a sexual relationship, she will guarantee Jordan a promotion to senior project coordinator and assign them to the company’s highest-paying client accounts. Jordan refuses and reports the conduct to Robert, another supervisor, and Human Resources. Robert dismisses the complaint, stating Maya has significant authority and suggests that Jordan should “work it out informally.” Human Resources acknowledges the complaint but delays any investigation. After the report, Maya’s conduct continues. Jordan is removed from key projects without explanation, excluded from meetings they previously led, and given increasingly negative performance feedback. Coworkers begin to distance themselves from Jordan, and Jordan believes the treatment is connected to the complaint. The company does not take timely or effective action to address the situation. Jordan ultimately resigns and files a lawsuit against BRD. #1 Explain whether Jordan is an independent contractor or an employee and why? Make sure to state the legal test that is used.
