Description
Claimant appeals the Commissions "Final Award Denying Compensation" based on findings that claimant was not Postens "employee" under section 287.020, RSMo 1986; that claimant was a "statutory employee" under section 287.040.1, RSMo 1986; and that although claimant was Postens statutory employee, Posten was exempt from workers compensation liability as an "owner" under section 287.040.3, RSMo 1986. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District, reversed the Commissions decision and this Court granted transfer because of conflict between decisions of the Southern and Eastern Districts. The question is whether one who is contemporaneously an owner and his own general contractor is liable to his independent contractor-statutory employee for workers compensation benefits. This Court also reverses the Commissions decision and remands the cause for further proceedings.
