Question 2 Miss Keerthi is a software developer working for Tech Innovators, and Mahendran is employed as a cloud engineer at the same mid-sized tech company. The nature of both of their working relationships with Tech Innovators is under review due to a recent internal audit. The Human Resources department needs to determine whether Keerthi is classified correctly under a 'contract of service' or a 'contract for service.' The terms for Keerthi include working full-time as a software developer in a hybrid arrangement, with an hourly rate of RM200, reporting to a manager, no retirement benefits, no paid leave, and flexible working hours. She was also given a hire purchase agreement to buy a car so that she can visit several subsidiaries. In comparison, Mahendran earns an hourly rate of RM200. He is allowed to work from home, and twice weekly he must come to the office to work. He too was given the hire purchase, paid leave, and can request assistance. Based on these facts, identify whether each scenario constitutes a contract of service or a contract for service, and support your argument with relevant cases.
