As the Head Boys Varsity Basketball Coach for Rockdale County High School, it is my privilege to write this recommendation for Noel Singh Jr. I have been fortunate to coach Noel on the Rockdale High School Basketball Team for two years; however, I’ve known him for three years. In all of my dealings with Noel, he has shown to be a young man of character, intelligence, and talent. He is now a senior at Rockdale County High School and is displaying the leadership and work ethic that every coach hopes for from his players. Noel has always maintained a positive attitude and remained in character despite his surroundings. Any coach would be proud to have him on their team.

The general principles of contract law rule the structure of the contract of employment. A contract of employment is a contract by which a person, the worker, takes on for a limited or undefined period of time to do work for payment according to the instructions and under the direction or control of another person, the employer. Inside the structure of a contract of employment, a person carries out the service of work, gets payment and the work is carried out according to the direction and supervision of the employer. "The terms of the contract may be either in writing or given orally, but both are equally binding and enforceable. When a person is hired to be an employee, the person enters into a contract of service, which is an employer/employee relationship" (Determining the Employer/Employee Relationship - IPG-069, 2012).
Imbree v McNeilly [2008] HCA 40 and March v (E & M) Stramare Pty Ltd (1991) 171 CLR 506:
The main issue was whether McKee was an employee thus entitled to damages for wrongful dismissal or an independent contractor. The court held that McKee was an employee of Reirds Heritage Homes and not an independent contractor. The judge was concerned with the degree of the relationship between an employer and an employee. The main area of duties for Reids Heritage Homes was to sell houses and McKee totally engaged herself in this. Therefore, the Court concluded that McKee was an employee of Reirds Heritage Homes and was entitled to notice of employment termination and damages thereof.
In Stevenson Jordan and Harrison v Macdonald & Evans, Lord Denning specified that under a contract of service, an individual is a part of the business and the work conducted is integral to it, whereas, work under a contract for services is conducted for the business but is only an accessory to it. Rather than emphasising the range of control, the test relies on to what extent the individual is absorbed into the organisation. This test is valid to an extent when establishing the employment status of highly skilled professionals but it is unfitting to the modern labour market. Difficulties arise when assessing flexible employment which is used to match supply and demand, these individuals have no permanent relationship, and this usually attracts employers as they have no responsibility for them and are not employees.
