• holding that where evidence establishes that employer “merely controlled the end sought to be accomplished” and the worker “controlled the means and details of accomplishing the work,” the worker was an independent contractor
• finding that a worker’s ability to set his own hours supports a finding that the worker was an independent contractor
• finding that the essential factor in determining whether one is an employee, as opposed to an independent contractor, is whether the employer has a right to control
