You are a human resource consultant specializing

QUESTION SET ONEYou are a human resource consultant specializing in the counseling of small businesses on the south side of Chicago. One of your new clients Sherrod Brown is the owner and the only employee of the Far Left a magazine dedicated to the farleft wing of the Democratic Party. Far Left has a loyal following with annual revenues in excess of $500 000.Because Mr. Brown is a gambler and he likes his fancy clothes [a parody of the Jim Croce song and not an indictment of the character of the fine Senator from the great state of Ohio who introduced the Employee Misclassification Prevention Act] he wants to generate more revenue from Far Left. Mr. Brown believes that a number of local businesses would buy ad space in his publication. Because he is busy writing substantive articles for Far Left Mr. Brown does not have time to sell ad space.To those ends Mr. Brown retained Jimmy C. a local musician and entrepreneur to sell ad space for Far Left. Mr. Brown considers Jimmy C. to be an independent contractor. Mr. Brown pays Jimmy C. $250 per week and 10% of any revenue that Jimmy C. generates through ad sales. To assist Jimmy C. in the performance of his duties Mr. Brown also provided Jimmy C. with Mr. Brown’s address list a cell phone and a Custom Lincoln Continental.Mr. Brown did not require Jimmy C. to undergo any training as Mr. Brown believes that making sales is a matter of who you know and not what you know. Rather Mr. Brown wrote a song for Jimmy C. to sing to potential customers. Mr. Brown calls Jimmy C. every day at 8 a.m. to make sure that he is on the job. Mr. Brown also equipped the Custom Lincoln Continental with a GPS tracking system so that he could track Jimmy C. throughout the day. Mr. Brown does not permit Jimmy C. to sell ad space for any other magazines. Mr. Brown set the pricing for the ads which are not negotiable. Jimmy C. worked tirelessly for two months to sell ad space but his efforts did not produce much fruit.Despite putting in 60 hours Jimmy C. only sold $5 000 in ads. Unfortunately Jimmy C. tripped over a curb and thereafter was bitten by a dog while selling ad space at the local junkyard. Jimmy C. filed a claim for workers compensation claim benefits. Jimmy C. also filed a lawsuit against Far Left for failure to pay minimum wage and overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act.Identify the benefit(s) to Far Left and to Jimmy C. of the independent contractor classification?Analyze the fact pattern using the IRAC formula.First identify the narrow Issue(s) identified in the fact pattern.
