先前在其他地區已經有很多判例了，這次會特別記錄下來是因為加州是 Uber 與 Lyft 的總部：「Uber and Lyft ordered by California judge to classify drivers as employees」。
裡面有提到了去年九月加州政府通過了法案 (California Assembly Bill 5，簡稱 AB 5)，把 ABC Test 放進法律，取代了之前的 Borello test，用來判斷聘顧關係 (是否為員工，或是獨立的合約關係)：
Under the ABC test, a worker is considered an employee and not an independent contractor, unless the hiring entity satisfies all three of the following conditions:
- The worker is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact;
- The worker performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business; and
- The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed.
現在需要這三點都成立才會認定為獨立的合約聘顧關係，雖然還有上訴的機會，但翻盤的機率應該不高，記得這個法案當初就是針對 Uber 跟 Lyft...
