There is no statutory definition of independent contractor in New York’s state wage and hour law. Case law generally applies a common-law right-to-control test in determining employee status, including whether the worker:
Worked at his or her own convenience;
Was free to engage in other employment;
Received fringe benefits;
Was on the employer’s payroll; and
Was on a fixed schedule.
Employee: Any individual employed or permitted to work by an employer in any occupation.
