Supreme Court of Connecticut
Vogue v. Administrator, Unemployment Compensation Act
August 16, 2022344 Conn. 321
Summary
The court affirmed the dismissal of the employer’s administrative appeal, holding that the tattoo artist’s services were within the employer’s usual course of business under part B of the statutory ABC test. The court concluded that the agency reasonably relied on substantial evidence, including the employer’s advertising, store operations, and treatment of tattoo transactions as its own business activity. The court declined to require that multiple workers perform the activity or that the activity constitute a substantial portion of the enterprise’s business.
