Quote:They are under contract so yes, still an employee.

I would still claim "seasonal employee" as no compensation is given


 

It all depends on what is in their contract and if it follows the CBA guidelines.

​No employer has the right to tell employees they can not go back to their home when they are off work...Commuting would be another situation in which I would agree with you 


 

It's not uncommon for athletes to have clauses in their contracts that forbid them from dangerous activities on their own time.  So yes, there are some boundaries set for employees even when "off work." I agreed with this...Sky diving, race car driver, hang gliding, and other dangerous activities can and do have special clauses in certain contracts


 

So, I don't think they could control what doctors the do/do not see unless it's in their contract and falls under CBA allowances.

When someone is hurt on the job, the employer send the employee to "their" doctors...Whether they have a choice to see their own Drs or not under workman's comp i have no idea...Never filed a claim..
