| The employment status of a person is defined and prescribed by law and not by what the parties say it should be.[19] Equally important to consider is that a contract of employment is impressed with public interest such that labor contracts must yield to the common good.[20] Thus, provisions of applicable statutes are deemed written into the contract, and the parties are not at liberty to insulate themselves and their relationships from the impact of labor laws and regulations by simply contracting with each other.[21] | |||||
