Jill is absolutely outraged at Paul's attitude towards

Jill is absolutely outraged at Paul's attitude towards her husband. After seeing Larry the Litigator's splashy television commercial, she decides that she means business and calls him. After hearing of Pedro's plight, Larry goes on a 10 minute tirade Nike Cortez Shoes,full of righteous indignation. Jill now feels that not only does she have a case against Paul, she has a moral obligation to sue so as to protect the world from the other "Pauls" that are out there lurking.

Rough Justice

So what do you think happens next? Well, given the facts of the case, here's what could end up being posted under "Failure to Insure" Prosecutions on Nike Blazer High,the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry's website:

Paul the Painter, owner of Paul's Painting in Harrisburg, pled guilty to 27 misdemeanor counts of the third degree on June 1, 2008, in the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas for failing to insure its workers' compensation liability. The judge sentenced Paul to pay the costs of prosecution and placed him on probation for a period of 27 years. Judge also ordered Paul to make restitution to the injured employee in the amount of $173,370. The Bureau's Compliance Unit reports that Paul's Painting is no longer in business.

So where did Paul go wrong? Pennsylvania case law is clear that whether an employee / employer relationship exists is a matter of law and is determined by the facts of each case. The perceptions of the parties involved (ie. Paul and Pedro) are completely irrelevant.

Although many factors have to be considered to determine the true nature of an employment relationship, the amount of control exercised by the Nike Shox Torch,employer is generally given a lot of weight. The facts here show that Paul closely monitored and controlled what Pedro did and how he did it. Therefore, Pedro was an employee and Paul was not in compliance with Pennsylvania law.
