So if an office position has flex time you're an independent contractor?

You're wrong about the vehicle condition part and "how you work" is questionable (you have limits on how many fares you can refuse, for instance).



Completely different. Uber drivers don't even have to work...ever!

Vehicles can be 10 or 15 years old which includes some 90% of all vehicles. That's hardly "controlling condition". And, OK, lights and seat belts have to work.

There actually aren't any hard limits on how many fares you can refuse but refusing fares is like a contractor turning in lousy work.
