Paschal v. Price

In this workers’ compensation case, we granted a petition for a writ of certiorari to review the decision of the court of appeals in Paschal v. Price, 380 S.C. 419, 670 S.E.2d 374 (Ct.App.2008), which held the claimant was an employee rather than an independent contractor. After applying the common law standard reinstated in Wilkinson ex rel. Wilkinson v. Palmetto State Transportation Co., 382 S.C. 295, 676 S.E.2d 700 (2009) to consider the jurisdictional question of employment status, we affirm.
