Scenarios—Points6for6Discussion

ee6and6an6independent6contractor6discussed6in6the6chapter6(see6―The6Definition6of6 Employee,‖6
particularly6Exhibits61.3–1.5).6Discuss6the6IRS620-
factor6analysis,6as6it6applies6to6 Dalia‘s6position.6In6light6of6the6low6level6of6control6that6Dalia6ha
d6over6her6fees6and6her6work6 process,6and6the6limits6upon6her6choice6of6clients,6students6should6
come6to6the6conclusion6that6 Dalia6is6an6employee6(therefore,6eligible6to6file6an6unemployment6cl
aim),6rather6than6an6 independent6contractor.

at6 determines6the6status6of6a6supervisor6vis-à-vis6anti-
discrimination6legislation.6Because6Soraya6is6 Soraya‘s6supervisor,6not6her6employer,6he6cannot6
be6the6target6of6an6EEOC6claim6of6sexual6 harassment.

appears6to6have6a6viable6anti-
discrimination6policy6that6it6adhered6to6diligently;6 consequently,6Soraya6 would6be6unlikely6to6win6
a6decision6in6her6favor.6The6court6in6Williams6v.6Banning6(1995)6offered6the6 following6rationale6fo
r6its6decision6in6a6similar6case:
―She6has6an6employer6who6was6sensitive6and6responsive6to6her6complaint.6She6can6take6
comfort6in6the6knowledge6that6she6continues6to6work6for6this6company,6while6her6harasser
6 does6not6and6that6the6company's6prompt6action6is6likely6to6discourage6other6would6be6

Scenario6Three:6Students6should6discuss6whether6or6not6Mya6non-

6agreement6that6Mya6might6contest6as6 unreasonable6(see6section6below,6―Covenants6Not6to6Com
pete‖).6Does6Mya6have6a6persuasive6 argument6that6the6terms6of6her6non-
compete6agreement6are6unreasonable6in6scope6or6duration?
Might6she6have6grounds6to6claim6that6the6agreement6prohibits6her6from6making6a6 living?
Given6the6diversity6of6state6laws6regulating6non-
compete6agreements,6discuss6the6range6of6legal6 restrictions6that6might6apply6to6Mya‘s6particular6
agreement6with6her6employer.6As6an6employeewho6 works6across6several6states,6Mya‘s6defense6
may6depend6upon6the6presence—and6specific6 language—of6a6forum6selection6clause6in6her6non-
compete6agreement.6Consider6what6language6 would6be6more6likely6to6provide6Nan6with6a6stron
