Is one working day per week sufficient to qualify a plaintiff as an employee?

In McIvor v. Insurance Corp. of British Columbia 1997 CarswellBC 2393, one working day per week for two years was considered sufficient to qualify the plaintiff as an employed person.

In Bissky v. Insurance Corp. of British Columbia 1987 CarswellBC 247, the plaintiff labourer was not employed on the date of the accident. As in Proctor, he had worked irregular hours and not on all working days. It was not these factors that the court found disqualified the plaintiff as an employed person but rather it was the fact that the plaintiff had not been a full-time employee of any one employer during that year. He had been the employee of seven different employers.
