Ann, an employee of GRP, Inc., negligently struck Bob, who was walking across an intersection in front of GRP, Inc.'s place of business. Ann was driving a company car, which she had permission to operate 24 hours a day. Fortunately, Bob was not severely injured. He did, however, sustain a broken leg. As a result of Bob's injuries, he was unable to perform the essential functions of his job as an Assembly Line Worker at ABC, Inc.. That company could not accommodate Bob's six - nine week recovery for the broken leg (the company employed less than thirty employees).

Bob is suing both Ann and her employer, GRP, Inc., for negligence. As it turns out, Ann's driver's license was revoked (convictions for DUI's). GRP, Inc. has since terminated Ann's employment, contending she failed to report the loss of her driver's license. A corporate policy, which she signs off on each year, requires all employees to notify GRP, Inc. about even minor traffic offenses if such employees are given use of corporate vehicles. GRP, Inc. denies it has any liability for Ann's alleged negligence. BoB is maintaining that GRP, Inc., which obviously has "deeper pockets" than Ann, is responsible for his pain and suffering, job loss and related damages totaling $50,000.00 or more.Analyze Bob's claims for both.What are the company's defenses against such claims?

Bob was hired as an independent contractor for GRP, Inc. for a six-month term. Bob has expertise in process manufacturing, which GRP, Inc. needed to complete a project it was hired to perform. Bob was required to work at GRP's premises between 8:00 a.m - 5:00 p.m.. He was required to report to Frank, his immediate superior on the project. Frank is an employee of GRP, Inc.. Bob was allowed to take morning and afternoon breaks and a one-hour lunch break as was the practice for all of GRP's employees. Bob was required to sign an Independent Contractor Agreement with GRP, Inc. prior to his acceptance for this assignment. GRP, Inc. paid Eric every two weeks, just as it did regular employees. No taxes or withholdings were taken from Bobc's check issued by GRP, Inc.. GRP, Inc. also did not contribute to unemployment insurance for Bob.

Three months into the project, it was determined that Bob's expertise was not as significant as he represented. Frank has issued two performance warnings to him. Indeed, upper-level management personnel concluded that Eric's performance did not meet the company's expectations. The company fired Bob for "cause", based upon two points: (1) he misrepresented his qualifications; and (2) failure to perform / poor performance.

Bob has filed actions with the Illinois Department of Employment Security seeking unemployment compensation benefits following his termination. Further, he has filed an action for overtime pay violations through the Department of Labor. The latter claim is based on Bob's working three hours each night on the project after the 5:00 p.m. shift ended. He claims he worked far in excess of a regular forty-hour workweek, but was not paid overtime compensation. In effect, Eric contends, in both claims, that GRP, Inc. improperly "misclassified" his employment status. He argues that, even though he signed an independent contractor agreement, the agreement was imposed upon him by GRP, Inc. and should have no legal effect as he was not really working as an independent contractor, but as an employee.

Bob's claims raise a complex, but often common situation. Who eventually prevails? Why / why not.
