1. (1) ORS 670.600 generally establishes three requirements for “independent contractors.” One requirement is that an “independent contractor” must be engaged in an “independently established business.” Another requirement is related to licenses and certificates that are required for an “independent contractor” to provide services. A third requirement is that an “independent contractor” must be “free from direction and control over the means and manner” of providing services to others.
2. (2) The specific focus of this rule is the “direction and control” requirement. See ORS 670.600 for the requirements of the “independently established business” test and for licensing and certification requirements.
