Precht, P., Aplt. v. Ucbr

Summary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania held that the judicially created “positive steps” test is invalid when applied to claimants who have not performed services for wages, affirming that Section 4(l)(2)(B) of the Unemployment Compensation Law provides the exclusive two‑factor test for self‑employment and that the Commonwealth Court’s interpretation of Section 402(h) conflicts with the statute’s remedial purpose. The Court reversed the Commonwealth Court’s denial of benefits.
