Colorado Custom Maid, LLC, Petitioner v. Industrial Claim Appeals Office and Division of Unemployment Insurance…

Summary

The court affirmed the determination that Colorado Custom Maid's house cleaners were employees rather than independent contractors for unemployment-tax purposes. The cleaners were subject to CCM's control and direction, and the totality of the circumstances did not establish that they operated independent cleaning businesses. The court rejected a separate threshold inquiry into whether the services benefited the putative employer.
