George Pullisic worked as a cable installer for MagtiTelecom, Inc., a local cable television and internet provider. The agreement between Pullisic and Magti stated that no employer-employee relationship existed. Pullisic supplied some basic tools (e.g., screwdrivers, gloves, etc.), supplied his own van, and paid for gas and auto insurance. Magti supplied the cable wire and some specialized tools required to install it. Pullisic was required to wear clothing with a Magti Telecom logo. Each day, Magti supplied Pullisic with a list of jobs (work orders) and set limits on the hours that Pullisic could work. Other than that, Magti had minimal contact with Pullisic , although a Magti employee inspected Pullisic's work after each job and notified Pullisic when his work did not meet Magti's quality standards. Although the relationship between Pullisic and Magti had no specific duration, Pullisic had received steady work from Magti for over one year and expected he would receive work orders as long as there was work to do and the overall quality of his work met Magti's expectations.

Pullisic was injured on the job and filed a claim for workers compensation benefits. These benefits are available to employees, but not independent contractors.
