Bill S.B. 95
This bill would exempt a private investigator from the definition of “employment” in the Maine Employment Security law as long as that employment is not subject to federal unemployment tax and the following requirements are met:
- There is a written contract between the private investigator and the party requesting services;
- The private investigator offering the services operates independently of the party requesting services, except for the time frame and quality of finished work as specified in the contract;
- Compensation for services is negotiated between the 2 parties and is paid for each service performed; and
The party requesting services furnishes neither equipment nor the place of employment to the private investigator.
