Fishing boat owner deemed employer to fisherman paid in catch shares without equity stake.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Insurance Court reversed the Pensions Board's decision, ruling that a fisherman without an equity stake in a boat was in an employment relationship. The court found that receiving payment in the form of catch shares constituted wages rather than a profit share. Consequently, the fisherman was entitled to pension benefits under the employment relationship established by the court's interpretation of the facts.
