               CHAPTER 1.   EXISTENCE OF EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP

§ 1.01. Conditions for Existence of Employment Relationship

N.D.Cal.2022. Subsec. (a) quot. in sup. Minor-league baseball players brought a putative class action
against, among others, major baseball league, alleging that defendant violated wage and overtime
requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act. On remand, this court denied in part defendant's
motion for partial summary judgment, holding that the circumstances weighed strongly in favor of
finding that defendant was plaintiff's joint employer for the purposes of the Act, because defendant had
the power to hire and terminate plaintiffs. Citing Restatement of Employment Law §§ 1.01 and 1.04, the
court explained that defendant controlled the first-year draft of plaintiffs, required them to upload
documents through defendant's portal as part of the drafting process, had the power to render plaintiffs
ineligible to play in the minor league, and played a major role in the selection of players for league
franchises. Senne v. Kansas City Royals Baseball Corp., 591 F.Supp.3d 453
