SSS vs. CA Case Digest

The petitioners, who were peddlers of Mafinco, filed with the Social Security Commission seeking to be declared employees of Mafinco in order to receive benefits. Mafinco argued the peddlers were independent contractors. The Commission agreed with Mafinco, finding that under the peddling contract the peddlers were responsible for costs of the delivery truck, driver compensation, and licenses/permits, and the contract could be terminated with 5 days notice, indicating an independent contractor relationship rather than an employer-employee one.

SSS vs. CA

FACTS:

SSS and petitioners filed with the Social Security Commission seeking to be declared as employees of
COSMOS. The petitioners here are peddlers of Mafinco. Mafinco contended that they are independent contractors.

ISSUE:
W/N there exists an employer-employee relationship

HELD:
No. Under the peddling contract, Mafinco would provide the peddler with a delivery truck and the peddler is
responsible for compensation of his driver and helpers. In addition, the peddler would also bear the cost of gasoline
and maintenance of the truck and secure their licenses and permits. The petitioner would also post a cash bond
and the contract may be terminated upon 5 days prior notice.

On the basis of the peddling contract, no employer-employee relationship was created. Thus, the petitioner
is an independent contractor.
