HRCI PHR Exam - Topic 6 Question 82 Discussion

Posted by Jennifer on Mar 08, 2024 at 09:08 PM

You are the HR Professional for your organization and you're working with the management to define the role of contractors versus employees in your organization. According to the Internal Revenue Service, there are three categories of control that help determine whether a person is a contractor or an employee. Which one of the following is not one of the three levels of control as defined by the IRS for employee versus contractor?

Suggested Answer: B

There are four types of validity that HR Professional should be familiar with: content validity, criterion-related validity, construct validity, and predictive validity. There is no such category as professional validity.

Answer options D, A, and C are incorrect. Predictive validity, content validity, and construct validity are the categories of validity, as part of abiding by the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures.

This seems confusing, how can locale not be a factor?
GR

Yup, A, C, and D are the real ones.

Wait, are you sure about that? I thought locale mattered too.
AM

Totally agree, B isn't one of them!

I think the three categories are financial, behavioral, and relationship control.

I know "behavioral control" and "financial control" are important, but I can't remember if "locale of work performed" is a real category or just a detail.
CA

I practiced a similar question last week, and I feel like "type of relationship" was one of the key factors, but I'm a bit confused about the others.
KA

I think "financial control" is definitely one of the categories, but I can't recall if "locale of work performed" is actually mentioned in the IRS definitions.

I remember studying the IRS guidelines, but I'm not completely sure about the "locale of work performed" being one of the controls.

This is a good opportunity to demonstrate my knowledge of employment classification. I'll make sure to thoroughly explain my reasoning for the correct answer.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem pretty similar, so I'll need to really understand the differences between the three levels of control to identify the one that's not included.

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking which one of the listed options is not one of the three levels of control. I'll need to review those carefully.
KR

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I'll focus on the key details about the three levels of control defined by the IRS.
KR
Kristel 1 year ago
Hmm, I'm not entirely confident about this. I'll need to revisit my notes on the IRS guidelines for employee versus contractor classification to make sure I have a solid understanding.

Okay, let me think this through. VXLAN is used to create virtual networks, and the device that encapsulates and decapsulates the VXLAN packets must be the VTEP, or VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint. I'm confident that's the right answer.
DI
Dick 1 year ago
Hmm, the key here is understanding the order of operations - the route has to pass the import route map first, and then the route target import filter. I think option A is the right answer.
KR
Kristin 1 year ago
This is a tricky one. I'm not totally sure, but I think Workspace ONE Tunnel might be the service that allows remote control of Android devices. I'll have to double-check the details on that.
MO
Moon 1 year ago
Okay, let me see. Availability Zones provide redundancy within a region, so that's got to be the right answer here. The other options like multi-master and automatic failover are more about cross-region redundancy. I'm feeling good about B.

This question seems straightforward, I think the T-plant is the one that processes one raw material into one final product.

Wait, does the IRS really care where I do my work? That's just weird. I'm going to go with B) on this one, it seems like the most logical choice.

Ah, the age-old contractor vs employee debate. I'm fairly certain B) Locale of work performed is the odd one out here. The IRS is all about that financial and behavioral control, you know?

I think we can safely say that B) Locale of work performed is not one of the three levels of control according to the IRS.

Definitely, the IRS is more concerned with financial and behavioral control.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I thought the IRS looked at all four of those factors to determine contractor vs employee status. This is tricky!

I'm pretty sure the answer is B) Locale of work performed. The IRS focuses on financial control, behavioral control, and the type of relationship, not the physical location of the work.

I see your point, but I still think it's B) Locale of work performed because that doesn't seem to be a factor in determining contractor versus employee status.
