Sarnelli (cob as East End Lock and Key) v. The Effort Trust Company

By Matt Lalande, Lalande & Company Lawyers | 4 Minutes Read June 11, 2012

Not an employee? Not an independent contractor? How the courts define the hybrid

Increasingly, Canadian courts have recognized an in-between class of agents that are not technically employees or not technically independent contractors. Over the past few years, our courts have come up with a hybrid category of agents called "dependent contractors." These are independent individuals who work so closely with employers, and whose relationship status with their "employer" is so sufficiently long-lasting, as to allow them entitlement for reasonable notice.
