MacIntyre v. The Queen, 2010 DTC 1053 [at at 2801], 2010 TCC 27 (Informal Procedure) -- summary under Subsection 5(1)

The taxpayer was employed as a ships pilot by the Atlantic Pilotage Authority ("APA") and was paid a flat salary pursuant to a collective agreement when he worked as scheduled every second week in the Halifax harbor. In addition, he had the option of accepting assignments for pilotage services during the other weeks, and when he did so he received a percentage of the fees his employer charged to the ship owners. In light inter alia that the collective agreement provided that such work performed outside scheduled weeks was done by him in his capacity of employee, the authority the APA had to ensure compliance by the taxpayer with the provisions of the collective agreement and the fact that there was very little risk of the taxpayer not receiving the fees for work performed by him in the non-scheduled weeks, the income from such supplementary work was employment income to him.
