Definition of an Employee

350.4 - Definition of an Employee (Rev. 4, 10-01-01) An employee is an individual who is actively working for an employer or, since disabled persons are not usually working, a person whose relationship to an employer is indicative of employee status. Whether or not such a person is an employee is established by the facts applicable to the person’s relationship to the employer. The question to be decided is whether the employer treats a disabled individual who is not working as an employee, in light of commonly accepted indicators of employee status rather than whether the person is categorized in any particular way by the employer.
