History of Claim
On or about April 2, 2015, Mr. Gandy sustained injury to his left knee when he accidentally stepped back into an open manhole while working. See PBD. Mr. Gandy notified January Services of his knee injury. He sought authorized medical treatment on April 3, 2015, with Terri T. Wheeler, PA, Concentra Medical Center (Concentra). PA Wheeler ordered diagnostic testing, which did not identify any fractures. See Exhibit 10, April 3, 2015 office note. PA Wheeler opined that Mr. Gandy sustained a knee contusion, knee pain, and chest wall contusion, and ordered an MRI of the left knee to evaluate for internal derangement. !d. Further, PA Wheeler released Mr. Gandy to return to work with restrictions of "no squatting and/or kneeling, no climbing stairs or ladders, and should be sitting seventy five percent (75%) of the time." !d.
Mr. Gandy followed up with PA Wheeler after obtaining the MRI, and advised that he had not worked since light duty was not available. PA Wheeler referred Mr. Gandy for an orthopedic evaluation and placed restrictions of no squatting and/or kneeling; occasional standing and walking up to three (3) hours a day; and no driving the company vehicle due to functional limitations. See Exhibit 10, April 10, 2015 office note.
On April 13, 2015, Concentra informed Mr. Gandy that January Services denied the workers' compensation claim for his injury and instructed him to seek medical treatment under his private insurance. See Exhibit 1.
By self-referral, Mr. Gandy began treatment with Dr. Chad T. Price, Elite Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center (Elite Sports), on April 15, 2015. Mr. Gandy related
3 his injury to stepping in a manhole at work on April 2, 2015. Dr. Price diagnosed Mr. Gandy with "lateral meniscus tear and MCL tear or sprain" and recommended medication and physical therapy. Dr. Price continued restrictions of "no squatting, no lifting greater than fifteen (15) pounds, and no stairs or climbing." See Exhibit 11, April 15, 2015 office note.
January Services contracted with Frank Crum to provide an "Employee Leasing Arrangement." See Exhibit 15. As part of the agreement, Frank Crum provided payroll and workers' compensation benefits for all leased employees. Frank Crum did not consider Mr. Gandy to be a leased employee at the time of alleged injury and did not have workers' compensation coverage for his injury. January Services classified Mr. Gandy as an independent contractor, not an employee.
On April21, 2015, Mr. Gandy submitted a PBD, seeking temporary total disability and medical benefits. The mediator filed the DCN on May 11, 2015. Mr. Gandy filed a REH on May 11, 20 15 and requested a ruling based on the record.
Mr. Gandy's Contentions
Mr. Gandy filed an affidavit in support of his position. The Court compiled Mr. Gandy's contentions from his affidavit and submitted documentation. See Exhibits 1 and 4. January Services hired Mr. Gandy on March 30, 2015, and issued him a hard hat, safety glasses, and company phone. His assigned employee identification number was 10415, his rate of pay was $16.50 per hour, and he received time and a half pay for any time worked over forty (40) hours per week. He filled out employment paperwork and underwent a physical with drug test. He also filled out dental and health insurance paperwork and completed a W-4 form, not a W-9 form.
While working at a Wal-Mart store in Ohio on April 2, 2015, he accidently stepped back into an open manhole. He notified "Nicole" at the main Oklahoma City office about the injury. When he woke up the next morning, he needed to see a doctor and called Nicole again.

History of Claim
On or about April 2, 2015, Mr. Gandy sustained injury to his left knee when he accidentally stepped back into an open manhole while working. See PBD. Mr. Gandy notified January Services of his knee injury. He sought authorized medical treatment on April 3, 2015, with Terri T. Wheeler, PA, Concentra Medical Center (Concentra).

See Exhibit 10, April 10, 2015 office note.
On April 13, 2015, Concentra informed Mr. Gandy that January Services denied the workers' compensation claim for his injury and instructed him to seek medical treatment under his private insurance. See Exhibit 1.
By self-referral, Mr. Gandy began treatment with Dr. Chad T. Price, Elite Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center (Elite Sports), on April 15, 2015. Mr. Gandy related
3 his injury to stepping in a manhole at work on April 2, 2015. Dr. Price diagnosed Mr. Gandy with "lateral meniscus tear and MCL tear or sprain" and recommended medication and physical therapy. Dr. Price continued restrictions of "no squatting, no lifting greater than fifteen (15) pounds, and no stairs or climbing." See Exhibit 11, April 15, 2015 office note.
January Services contracted with Frank Crum to provide an "Employee Leasing Arrangement." See Exhibit 15. As part of the agreement, Frank Crum provided payroll and workers' compensation benefits for all leased employees. Frank Crum did not consider Mr. Gandy to be a leased employee at the time of alleged injury and did not have workers' compensation coverage for his injury. January Services classified Mr. Gandy as an independent contractor, not an employee.
On April21, 2015, Mr. Gandy submitted a PBD, seeking temporary total disability and medical benefits. The mediator filed the DCN on May 11, 2015. Mr. Gandy filed a REH on May 11, 20 15 and requested a ruling based on the record.
Mr. Gandy's Contentions
Mr. Gandy filed an affidavit in support of his position. The Court compiled Mr. Gandy's contentions from his affidavit and submitted documentation. See Exhibits 1 and 4. January Services hired Mr. Gandy on March 30, 2015, and issued him a hard hat, safety glasses, and company phone. His assigned employee identification number was 10415, his rate of pay was $16.50 per hour, and he received time and a half pay for any time worked over forty (40) hours per week. He filled out employment paperwork and underwent a physical with drug test. He also filled out dental and health insurance paperwork and completed a W-4 form, not a W-9 form.
While working at a Wal-Mart store in Ohio on April 2, 2015, he accidently stepped back into an open manhole. He notified "Nicole" at the main Oklahoma City office about the injury. When he woke up the next morning, he needed to see a doctor and called Nicole again. She instructed him to go to the office and advised "Travis" would take him to Concentra. At Concentra, he underwent x-rays and scheduled an MRI of his knee. After the MRI was performed, Concentra referred him to an orthopedic surgeon. On April 13, 2015, Mr. Gandy received a call from Concentra's referral department informing him that Destiny, from January Services, notified Concentra that January Services would not be filing a workers' compensation claim and he would need to proceed under his own insurance.
Mr. Gandy tried to contact Destiny and when he finally reached her, she said he was an independent contractor, and therefore they would not file a claim. It was the first time he heard the words "independent contractor" from anyone at January Services. He asked Destiny why no one informed him of this and Destiny said Travis should have told
4 him.
Mr. Gandy stated that the signature on the W-9 form filed by January Services is his signature. However, the rest of the form is not in his handwriting, the zip code is wrong, and the street name was incorrectly spelled. Mr. Gandy seeks mileage reimbursement for the following dates of service:
• April3, 2015-Concentra first visit, sixty-eight (68) miles round trip; • April 9, 2015-Diagnositc Center for MRI, seventy (70) miles round trip; • April 10, 2015-Concentra second visit, sixty-eight (68) miles round trip; and • April 15, 2015- Elite Sports Medicine, seventy (70) miles round trip.
January Services's and Frank Crum's Contentions
January Services submitted a wage statement, a copy of a W-9 form, and a copy of a check dated April 9, 2015, made payable to Mr. Gandy for $841.50. See Exhibits 5, 6, and 7. It does not appear that January Services submitted any other documentation or information.
Frank Crum submitted the affidavit of attorney Heather Douglas; email dated April 3, 2014 from Destiny at January Services to Hannah Hatton from Frank Crum; Client Service Agreement; Benefit Election and Compensation Reduction Agreement; W-4 form; employee direct deposit authorization form; and employment eligibility verification. See Exhibits 13-19. March 24, 2015, is the date noted on all of the Employment Forms. January Services attempted to get Mr. Gandy approved by Frank Crum as a leased employee and sent an application with the Employment forms via email to Frank Crum on April3, 2015. The subject of the email is "Nashville TN Employee" and the documents attached to the email are Mr. Gandy's Employment Forms.
The Frank Crum contract with January Services provided in relevant part that "Leased Employees" are defined as:
[E]ach of Client's current and future employees who meet all of the following conditions none of which will be waived ...
II. The employee has completed and executed the Employee Leasing Application, W4 withholding form and form 19 (collectively, the "Employment Forms"),
III. Client has delivered all completed and properly executed Employment Forms with respect to such employee to [Frank Crum' s] payroll department, 5 IV. Frank Crum has received, reviewed, and accepted the Employment Forms with respect to each employee.
V. Frank Crum has notified Client in writing that such employee has been accepted by Frank Crum as a Leased Employee. Unless or until all of the forgoing conditions had been met, and you are notified in writing by our payroll department that the individual qualifies and has been accepted by a Leased Employee, Frank Crum will not be considered as such individual's employer for any purposes whatsoever ...
See Exhibit 15.
Mr. Gandy claims his injury occurred on April 2, 20 15. At that time, January Services had not yet submitted his application and Employment Forms to Frank Crum. Therefore, Frank Crum had not received or accepted Mr. Gandy as a leased employee at the time of the work injury.
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law
Standard Applied
The Workers' Compensation Law shall not be remedially or liberally construed in favor of either party but shall be construed fairly, impartially and in accordance with basic principles of statutory construction favoring neither the employee nor employer. Tenn. Code Ann. § 50-6-116 (2014). An employee need not prove every element of his or her claim by a preponderance of the evidence in order to obtain relief at an expedited hearing. McCord v. Advantage Human Resourcing, No. 2014-06-0063, 2015 TN Wrk. Comp. App. Bd. LEXIS 6, at *7-8, 9 (Tenn. Workers' Comp. App. Bd. Mar. 27, 2015). At an expedited hearing, an employee has the burden to come forward with sufficient evidence from which the trial court can determine that the employee is likely to prevail at a hearing on the merits. !d.
Factual Findings
• Mr. Gandy filled out employment paperwork for January Services on March 24, 2015 (Exhibits 15-19). • Mr. Gandy started working as an employee for January Services on March 30, 2015 (Exhibits 1 and 4). • On April 2, 2015, Mr. Gandy injured his left knee when he stepped into an open manhole in the course and scope of his employment with January Services (Exhibits 1, 4, and 11). 6 • Frank Crum and January Services had a client-service agreement to provide workers' compensation benefits for January Services' eligible leased employees (Exhibit 15). • The client-service agreement states as one of the required conditions that "Frank Crum has received, reviewed, and accepted the Employment Forms with respect to each employee" (Exhibit 15). • The client-service agreement further states:
In the event you allow an applicant to perform services for you during any time period prior to our acceptance of the applicant as a Lea,sed Employee and the applicant is injured during that period, we and our center are not responsible for providing workers' compensation benefits to that injured applicant, regardless of whether you submitted payroll for such applicant and we paid the applicant for the pre- employment payroll submission (Exhibit 15).
• January Services sent Mr. Gandy's Employment Forms to Frank Crum via email on April3, 2015 (Exhibit 14). Application ofLaw to Facts
Tennessee law provides the following concerning the determination of whether an individual is an employee or an independent contractor:
In a work relationship, in order to determine whether an individual is an "employee," or whether an individual is a "subcontractor" or an "independent contractor," the following factors shall be considered:
(i) The right to control the conduct of the work; (ii) The right of termination; (iii) The method of payment; (iv) The freedom to select and hire helpers; (v) The furnishing of tools and equipment; (vi) Self-scheduling of working hours; and (vii) The freedom to offer services to other entities[.]
Tenn. Code Ann. § 50-6-102(11)(D)(2014). Whether claimant is an employee or independent contractor depends upon the nature of business of the alleged employer, the way it is conducted, and the claimant's relationship to that business. See Seals v. Zollo, 327 S.W.2d 41 (Tenn. 1959).
In this case, there is no dispute that Mr. Gandy sustained injury while working in 7 the course and scope of his employment with January Services on April2, 2015. January Services avers that Mr. Gandy is an independent contractor and not entitled to worker's compensation benefits. In support of its position, January provided a W-9 form. However, Frank Crum provided a W-4 form, an Employee Benefit Election and Compensation Reduction, an Employee Direct Deposit Authorization Form, and Employment Eligibility Verification. All of the "Employment Forms" reference "Employee," and are not the types of forms typically utilized in an independent contractor situation. The Court finds that January Services failed to establish that Mr. Gandy was an independent contractor instead of an employee.
The Court further finds that January Services allowed Mr. Gandy to perform work prior to receiving acceptance of Mr. Gandy as a Leased Employee from Frank Crum, and Mr. Gandy was injured while working for January Services. As a result, and pursuant to the Client Service Agreement, Frank Crum is not responsible for providing workers' compensation coverage for Mr. Gandy. January Services, as the direct employer of Mr. Gandy, is responsible for providing Mr. Gandy workers' compensation benefits. The provided medical records establish Concentra and Dr. Price assigned restrictions. However, there was no information/documentation provided by any party to address whether January Services accommodated or could have accommodated those restrictions.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED as follows:
1. The claim of Mr. Gandy against January Environmental Services for medical benefits and mileage reimbursement is hereby granted. January Services shall provide reasonable, necessary, and related treatment for Mr. Gandy's April 2, 2015 left knee injury. Since January Services never provided a panel of orthopedic physicians, Dr. Price shall be designated as the authorized treating physician. In addition, January Services shall reimburse Mr. Gandy's mileage expenses for the following provider visits:
• April 3, 20 15-Concentra first visit, sixty-eight (68) miles round trip; • April9, 2015-Diagnositc Center for MRI, seventy (70) miles round trip; • April 10, 2015-Concentra second visit, sixty-eight (68) miles round trip; and • April15, 2015- Elite Sports Medicine, seventy (70) miles round trip.
2. Currently, there is insufficient information available on the issue of entitlement to temporary disability benefits. If necessary, the issue of temporary disability benefits may be addressed at a later hearing.
3. This matter is set for Initial Hearing on September 11, 2015, at 9 a.m. CST/10 a.m. EST. ENTERED this the lOth day of July, 2015. 8 HON. LISA A. KNOTT Workers' Compensation Judge
