36The question whether a given relationship falls outside such an employment relationship must be answered in each case on the basis of all the factors and circumstances characterizing the arrangements between the parties, such as, for example, the sharing of the commercial risks of the business, the freedom for a person to choose his own working hours and to engage his own assistants. In any event, the sole fact that a person is paid a ‘share’ and that his remuneration may be calculated on a collective basis is not of such a nature as to deprive that person of his status of worker.
