RAT5, maybe not so easy? Best case scenario, my local tax authority take the opinion that I am in fact an employee. I bring this to the attention of the HR department and demand all rights associated with being an employee. I am quite sure I would be shown the door ( a.k.a. 'your services are no longer needed') when I make a fuss about it. Several of those examples, e.g. JG, JA. And with that we are back in court. Who's up?
