3. The Professional Services Exemption

Question 6/6

6. does The worker regularly exercise discretion and independent judgment in the performance of the services to your company?

• Your company can provide broad guidelines and work deadlines but a worker must have the freedom to decide how the services will be rendered and how the deadlines will be met.

• A baseline to use in answering this question is to assess whether your company is treating the worker in the same manner as it would treat an employee.
