Labor Law, 2022 Bar — Question 9

ESSAY

Sigaw Corp., a media entity, produces television shows. To streamline its processes, it created a database of camera crew and sound engineers whom it usually engages for its television shows. Sigaw Corp. pays them only "talent fees" each time they are engaged for a show. After several years of this set-up, the camera crew and sound engineers filed a complaint for regularization against Sigaw Corp. before the Labor Arbiter. On the other hand, Sigaw Corp. claims that they are not regular employees but independent contractors or talents because they are engaged and paid for their specific technical skills. Rule on the complaint. Explain briefly. (5 points)
