Questions and Topics We Can Help You To Answer: 

This assignment will require you to take a more in-depth look at the classifications between Independent contractor and employee. All information you use should be United States law and cases, and all information and laws that I ask for have to correctly apply to the situation. In particular, I want you to answer the following questions and do the following things.

Create an introductory paragraph telling me about why the classification is important… why does it matter.

Tell me what laws might help explain who is an employee who is an independent contractor. In your paper cite any definitions and the source. Attach a one page print out of each law that you use.

Use westlaw from the library (see in class demo) and other sources to locate three different lawsuits involving a misclassification of workers. You must write about the three lawsuits, what are the issues, how did the court apply the law, how did the cases turn out if decided. 

Analyze the stripper cases from Pittsburgh in the context of what you wrote in 1,2,3, above. Why do you feel they are or are not employees. Good papers will use the law and the facts to come to a conclusion.

This assignment requires you to use westlaw and google to find reliable and appropriate sources of information. Your grade is determined not only on what information you find but its authenticity and reliability. Choose information from reliable websites like the department of labor.
