Genuine principal / contractorrelationships tend to provide greater autonomy and flexibility to the worker than traditionalemployer / employee arrangements. If the contract or practicality of the relationship provides theprincipal with the ability to control the activities of the worker then it will be considered that thiscontrol has been exercised.Indicators of control include where the worker is required to work set days or times, where they arerequired to report progress or attend meetings, where the priority, allocation or method ofperformance of the work is influenced or directed and where they are expected to work exclusivelyfor the principal or must seek the principal’s approval before working elsewhere.Page 6 of 25
