Sec. 552.107  Yard maintenance workers.

    Persons who mow lawns and perform other yard work in a neighborhood 
community generally provide their own equipment, set their own work 
schedule and occasionally hire other individuals. Such persons will be 
recognized as independent contractors who are not covered by the Act as 
domestic service employees. On the other hand, gardeners and yardmen 
employed primarily by one household are not usually independent 
contractors.
