Dear PAO,

A friend worked as a delivery rider for an online shopping website that also offers free delivery of its products. The online company directly hired my friend, and his supervisor assigned the pickup and drop-off of the packages, including the number of packages to be delivered. A daily delivery route was also given to my friend. However, he was recently terminated from work after getting his salary from the company. He was not given any reason for his termination. Thus, he informed his supervisor of his intention to file a complaint for illegal dismissal. However, his supervisor claimed that he cannot file a complaint for illegal dismissal since he is not considered an employee of the company. Is my friend an employee of the company?
