"Now, under the California Court’s new “ABC Test” for determining worker status, hiring entities classifying workers as independent contractors must be able to prove that such workers:
a) are free from the control and direction of the company in connection with the performance of the work, both under the applicable contract for the performance of the work, and in fact; and
b) perform work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business; and
c) are customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as the work performed.
Absent the ability to meet this “ABC Test,” all workers are to be considered employees subject to all applicable wage orders."
