January 31, 2018328 Conn. 38

Summary

The court held that Kirby of Norwich's door-to-door vacuum sales representatives were employees under the Unemployment Compensation Act because Kirby failed to satisfy part C of the statutory ABC test. Part C required evidence that the representatives were customarily engaged in an independently established business of the same nature as the services performed, and Kirby presented no such evidence. The court therefore affirmed the trial courts' judgments dismissing Kirby's appeals.
