Step 1 Research the "20-Factor Test."

Through Internet research, review the "20-Factor Test" that courts and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) use in determining whether an individual is an employee or an independent contractor.

Step 2 & 3 Write a paper applying the "20-Factor Test" to a scenario.

In an original paper, describe a hypothetical scenario involving the question of whether an individual is an employee or an independent contractor and issue a determination (based on the hypothetical you have created, and applying the "20-Factor Test" to your hypothetical) as to whether the person is an employee or an independent contractor.
