Question

multiple choice question

when a salesperson works as an employee of a broker, the broker has control over _______

• the end result of the salespersons work
• how the salespersons work is to be performed
• both a and b
• neither a nor b

Explanation:

Analyze employer control over an employee

An employer-employee relationship is legally defined by the employer's right to control both the end result of the work and the specific methods, procedures, and details of how that work is performed.

Compare with independent contractor status

In contrast, for an independent contractor, a hiring broker can only control the final result of the work, not the methods or hours used to achieve it.

Evaluate the given options

Since the salesperson is hired as an employee, the broker has control over both "The end result of the salesperson's work" (A) and "How the salesperson's work is to be performed" (B). Therefore, the correct choice is "Both A and B".

Answer:

• (A) The end result of the salesperson's work
• (B) How the salesperson's work is to be performed
• (C) Both A and B (Correct answer)
• (D) Neither A nor B
