Maczuk Farms argued Bone was an independent contractor, not an employee, and thus ineligible for benefits. The appellate court reversed, holding that the Commission erred by failing to address the independent contractor status despite it being properly raised. The court further found that the record contained substantial evidence proving Bone was an independent contractor under the common law right to control test, making him ineligible for unemployment benefits.","primaryTopic":"employment-law","topicSlugs":["employment-law","administrative-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=171555","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/leon-bone-respondent-v-maczuk-farms-trucking-llc-appellant-and-division-o-108470","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment","topic: employment-law","text: employment","text: employee"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":4,"source":"text","evidence":["text: llc"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
