Classification of a processing arrangement depends on the agreement and the real nature of the work. Applying the control, integration and multi-factor tests, the Tribunal held that supervision, disciplinary control, wage liability and statutory compliance remained with the contractor, while the client only required completion of identified job-work outputs; the arrangement was therefore contract for service, not manpower supply, and was classifiable under BAS rather than MSS.
