Detailed vChapter vOutline
Scenarios—Points vfor vDiscussion
, Scenario vOne: vThis vscenario voffers van vopportunity vto vreview vthe vdistinctions vbetween van
v employee vand van vindependent vcontractor vdiscussed vin vthe vchapter v(see v―The vDefinition vof
v Employee,‖ vparticularly vExhibits v1.3–1.5). vDiscuss vthe vIRS v20-factor vanalysis, vas vit
vapplies vto v Dalia‘s vposition. vIn vlight vof vthe vlow vlevel vof vcontrol vthat vDalia vhad vover vher
vfees vand vher vwork v process, vand vthe vlimits vupon vher vchoice vof vclients, vstudents vshould
vcome vto vthe vconclusion vthat v Dalia vis van vemployee v(therefore, veligible vto vfile van
vunemployment vclaim), vrather vthan van v independent vcontractor.
Scenario vTwo: vSoraya vwould vnot vhave va vcause vof vaction vthat vwould vbe vrecognized vby
vthe vEEOC. v Review vthe vsection v―The vDefinition vof v‗Employer‘‖ vwith vstudents, vand vdiscuss
vthe vrationale vthat v determines vthe vstatus vof va vsupervisor vvis-à-vis vanti-discrimination
vlegislation. vBecause vSoraya vis v Soraya‘s vsupervisor, vnot vher vemployer, vhe vcannot vbe vthe
vtarget vof van vEEOC vclaim vof vsexual v harassment.
CCC, vSoraya‘s vemployer, vwould vbe vvulnerable vto van vEEOC vclaim vif vthe vcompany vlacked vor
vfailedto v follow va vsystem vfor vemployee vredress vof vdiscrimination vgrievances. vHowever, vin
vthis vcase, v CCC v appears vto vhave va vviable vanti-discrimination vpolicy vthat vit vadhered vto
vdiligently; v consequently, vSoraya v would vbe vunlikely vto vwin va vdecision vin vher vfavor. vThe
vcourt vin vWilliams vv. vBanning v(1995) voffered vthe v following vrationale vfor vits vdecision vin va
vsimilar vcase:
―She vhas van vemployer vwho vwas vsensitive vand vresponsive vto vher vcomplaint. vShe vcan
vtake v comfort vin vthe vknowledge vthat vshe vcontinues vto vwork vfor vthis vcompany, vwhile
vher vharasser v does vnot vand vthat vthe vcompany's vprompt vaction vis vlikely vto
vdiscourage vother vwould vbe v harassers. vThis vis vprecisely vthe vresult vTitle vVII vwas
vmeant vto vachieve.‖
Scenario vThree: vStudents vshould vdiscuss vwhether vor vnot vMya vnon-compete vagreement vis vlikely
vtobe v found vreasonable vby va vcourt, vand velaborate vthe vaspects vof vthe vagreement vthat
vMya vmight vcontest vas v unreasonable v(see vsection vbelow, v―Covenants vNot vto vCompete‖).
vDoes vMya vhave va vpersuasive v argument vthat vthe vterms vof vher vnon-compete vagreement vare
vunreasonable vin vscope vor vduration?
Might vshe vhave vgrounds vto vclaim vthat vthe vagreement vprohibits vher vfrom vmaking va v living?
Given vthe vdiversity vof vstate vlaws vregulating vnon-compete vagreements, vdiscuss vthe vrange vof
vlegal v restrictions vthat vmight vapply vto vMya‘s vparticular vagreement vwith vher vemployer. vAs
van vemployeewho v works vacross vseveral vstates, vMya‘s vdefense vmay vdepend vupon vthe
vpresence—and vspecific v language—of va vforum vselection vclause vin vher vnon-compete
vagreement. vConsider vwhat vlanguage v would vbe vmore vlikely vto vprovide vNan vwith va vstrong
vdefense vagainst vthe vbreach vof vcontract vclaim.
Mya vmight valso vargue vthat vthe vcompany‘s vclient vlist vis vavailable vthrough vpublic vmeans,
vand v therefore, vher vaccess vto vthis vlist vshould vnot vbe vprohibited.

vrelatively v comfortable vwith vtheir vpeers. vInstructors vwill vbe vasking vthe vstudents vto vbe
vhonest vand vto vstay vin v their vtruth, veven vat vtimes vwhen vthey vfeel vthat vtheir vopinion von
