The Employee-Employer Relationship (E-mail)

Scenario

Jaime has an annual contract with Manila Office Supplies to provide property maintenance services; this includes lawn care, snow removal and parking lot maintenance. Jaime spends, on average, 20 hours per week working at the company's premises and is paid a flat amount monthly. He hires part-time workers, when necessary, to assist him. Jaime does not have any other clients.

Jaime uses his own small tools; however the company supplies and maintains a riding lawn mower and a snow plow for his use. His contact at the company is Glen Young, the Facilities Manager, who meets with him every Monday to discuss the work to be done that week. Glen approves Jaime’s monthly invoices and submits them to Accounts Payable.

Does Jaime have a contract of service or a contract for service with Manila Office Supplies? As the company's Payroll Supervisor, send an e-mail to Mr. Young explaining the process and factors you used to make your decision.
