Define 'controlled'. If I hire a plumber to come fix my toilet, I am saying, You are going to fix my toilet, and please do it this way. Does that make the plumber my employee?

I didn't create the law, I don't think I'm qualified to define anything.

I do however think it's intentionally hazy and open to interpretation.

If you find yourself telling a plumber which specific way a toilet should be fixed, you are either an employer, or should take some engineer pills.
