  Protection from this judicial decision: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamex_Operations_West,_Inc._v._Superior_Court https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamex_Operations_West,_Inc._... The AB5 is meant to codify it in the law. > The Court then reached the principle holding of the case, interpreting the “suffer or permit” standard in the wage order context. The Court held that the hiring entity bears the burden of “establish[ing] that a worker is an independent contractor” and thus, “not intended to be included within the wage order’s coverage.”[46] The Court went on hold that in order for the entity to meet this burden, it must establish each of three factors, in what is called the “ABC test”: > (A) that the worker is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact; and (B) that the worker performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity's business; and (C) that the worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as the work performed.[47]
