A man who worked as an independent contractor for a staffing company may receive unemployment compensation benefits even though he worked there only seven hours a week and held two other jobs, teaching in two school districts, the Commonwealth Court has ruled.

A three-judge panel unanimously ruled in Staffmore v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review that Jesse Frasch could not be considered a self-employed independent contractor because the staffing company failed to show Frasch performed for other companies the same kind of work he provided to the staffing company.
