ANNOTATION
Annotator's note. Since the substantive provisions of this section are identical to former § 8-70-103 (11)(l), relevant cases construing that provision have been included under this section.
Contract language that excluded salesperson as an employee "for any purpose" plainly and unambiguously includes federal tax purposes and therefore contract meets requirements of this section for exclusion from coverage under the act.
