They will likely base their decision on a series of questions:- who controlled how the work was done- was he paid hourly, daily, or weekly or was he paid by the job- did he advertise his services (bus cards, ads, online)- did he work for anyone else- did he have his own tools- did he supply the materials- did you have a contract with him- did he invoice you for the paymentsI would strongly suggest locating and talking to an Attorney who deals with Workers Comp. in your state.

The good thing I have seen doing work for active military families is if for some reason they don't pay (which they usually do) if you have your office/billing department send the invoice and copy of the job authorization form (contract for the work to be done) to their commanding officer once the invoice is I believe 30 days delinquent (for landscaping anyways) as long as the work has been completed the military will cut you a check and then somehow I guess they get payment from the soldier however they do that (I'd assume they just garnish their wages).
