Question:

Julianne Eisenberg was hired by Advance Relocation & Storage, a Danbury, Connecticut, warehouse. When she was hired, Advance did not inquire into any special skills that Eisenberg may have had, and it did not ask about her prior work experiences. Eisenberg and her coworkers were responsible for loading and unloading furniture from trucks at the Advance warehouse and customers’ residences. They were paid on an hourly basis and were required to punch in and out. Eisenberg and her coworkers were occasionally sent home early if there was little to do, and they were sometimes asked to work on the weekend. At the warehouse, Advance gave Eisenberg orders, telling her where to go and what to do. At job sites, an Advance representative told the crew what objects each crew member, including Eisenberg, was to move. Eisenberg claimed that when she worked at Advance, she was sexually harassed and subjected to a hostile work environment, in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Advance argued that she was not an employee under the act, and therefore, she could not invoke its protections. Was Eisenberg an Advance employee?
