The Insurance Court dismissed the claim that five musicians were employees of an orchestra service company. The company argued the musicians were independent contractors paid per performance with tax forms, while the plaintiffs alleged they were subject to the company's direction and control. The court ruled that the lack of personal subordination and the nature of the payments indicated an independent contractor relationship.
