The question of whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor is one that has challenged employers, lawyers and the courts for decades. This new text from retired Deputy Judge of the Tax Court of Canada, The Honourable Justice Norris Weisman, provides an in-depth examination of this important issue through a thorough review and analysis of relevant case law and applicable legislation.
