Pablo starts delivering fast food using his own bicycle for a new chain of local restaurants called Speedy. He is happy because he passed all the practice tests and he just has to follow a straightforward manual on how to collect, transport and deliver the food. Pablo can choose to accept deliveries using a smartphone application provided by Speedy and he is paid a fixed rate for delivery to the customers. There is a penalty if customers complain that the delivery has taken more than the 15-minutes Speedy guarantee. However, he thinks he looks very handsome in his new Speedy uniform, and he will get fit for the next Olympics because he can work seven days a week taking as many deliveries a day as he wants. One day Pablo comes back from delivering to a new neighbourhood and a vicious dog bites him on the leg causing severe lacerations. He falls from his bicycle and fractures his left wrist. Pablo cannot work for six weeks and his best friend -- a university law student -- tells him to claim workers compensation. Emma, the owner of Speedy, tells Pablo that she is afraid that he is an independent contractor.
According to your professional opinion, is Pablo entitled to workers compensation?
