MONTANA SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

WORKERS' COMPENSATION COURT DECISIONS

Hallquist v. Independent Contractor Central Unit [06/10/10] 2010 MTWCC 16 Although the department found two auto mechanics’ lack of independent contractor exemption certificates to be evidence in support of the department’s conclusion that the mechanics were employees, this Court gives no weight to the lack of exemption certificates because the mechanics had a fixed business location and therefore had no statutory duty to obtain independent contractor exemption certificates.
