Supreme Court to rule on insurance agents employment status
North Carolina's Supreme Court will hear whether soliciting agents for insurance companies are employees under the Unemployment Compensation Act.

The Unemployment Compensation Commission contends agents receive wages via commissions. The suit arose from Wake County Superior Court decisions.
