7. XYZ Gym engaged A, B, and C as fitness trainers. They were paid fixed monthly salaries, commissions, and other statutory benefits. After two years, XYZ Gym reclassified them as freelance trainers. While they were still paid monthly salaries and commissions, the other statutory benefits were discontinued. A, B, and C opposed their reclassification, claiming they are regular employees since their work is essential to the business of XYZ Gym. However, XYZ Gym maintained that as freelance trainers, they are deemed to be independent contractors and their engagement by the company was only in consideration of their skill and expertise.
