An independent contractor has benefited as one who does a “job for a price, decides how the work will be done, usually hires others to do the work, and depends for their income not upon wages, but upon the difference between what they pay for goods, materials and labor and what they receive for the end result, that is upon profits.” “A contingent worker is one whose job with an employer is temporary, is sporadic, or differs in any way from the norm of full-time employment. As used by the EEOC, the term “contingent worker” includes those who are hired by an employer through a staffing firm, as well as temporary, seasonal, and part-time workers, and those considered to be independent contractors rather than employees”(Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2007).

I think the bank terminated said employee because it would have been a conflict of interest to keep this employee employed. In my opinion, it did not make good business sense to keep this particular employee on the payroll. Legally speaking, I agree with the decision of the courts because the bank really didn’t break or violate any policy when it gave the employee the ultimatum of abandoning his counterclaim against the bank’s customer or keep his job. Morally speaking, I’m really not sure here because it seems as if all the facts have not been presented in totality. I think that the courts have a responsibility to society and to the public to uphold the law regardless as to what type of law is in question, i.e., business, employment, etc.

The court said this position was arbitrary and subverted common sense and, in the absence of case law or regulations, the IRS should not create ambiguity where there was none.

While the California Department of Insurance works with the California State Legislature to reform the broken workers’ compensation system, businesses must fend for themselves in a troubled market that experiences annual premium increases of up to 100% or more (Lipold, 2002). This not only affects California businesses, but also has an impact on state employees, since many local governments also participate in workers’ compensation. Taxpayers bear the cost of government, so this is a double-hit for the citizens of California.
The court will most likely upheld the employee manual for terminating employees for unsatisfactory performance. The employee manual will be an implied contract and Dillon v. Champion Jogbra, Inc. will support his claim. Dillon v. Champion Jogbra, Inc. the court rule in favor of Champion Jogbra, Inc. because the company put a clause in the employee manual stating: “They do not constitute part of an employment contract, nor are they intended to make any commitment to any employee concerning how individual employment action can, should, or will be
