What is the test for determining whether work relief is "employment" for purposes of workers' compensation?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Ghent v. Unemployment Ins. Appeals Bd, 183 Cal.App.3d 1167, 228 Cal.Rptr. 631 (Cal. App. 1986):
Ghent relies heavily upon County of Los Angeles v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd. (1981) 30 Cal.3d 391, 179 Cal.Rptr. 214, 637 P.2d 681, which holds that work relief is "employment" for purposes of workers' compensation; he argues it follows that an employment relationship exists between the County and the workfare participant for all purposes.
