Supreme Court of Connecticut
Standard Oil of Connecticut, Inc. v. Administrator, Unemployment Compensation Act
March 15, 2016
Summary
This is a dissent arguing that the majority improperly narrowed the statutory ABC test for determining whether workers are employees under the unemployment compensation statute. Rogers, C. J., would have concluded that Standard Oil failed to prove both alternatives of part B because installation, servicing, and monitoring were part of its usual business and customer homes were places of business. The dissent would therefore uphold the determination that Standard Oil owed unemployment compensation contributions.
