Interns are viewed as employees unless below  all six conditions apply

  • The internship, generally include actual operations in the office of the employer, but is similar to educational training that would have got in the school environment.
  • The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship
  • The work they do is for benefit of theirs not employers.
  • The regular employees are not displaced by the Intern. They can work in close supervision of employees.
  • The employer providing the training does not get direct benefit and the operations can be stopped.; and
  • The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship.
