The following excerpt is from Rosset v. Hunter Eng'g Co., A148819 (Cal. App. 2018):

Next, because the class certification decision "may be enmeshed with" issues "affecting the merits of a case," (Linder v. Thrifty Oil Co. (2000) 23 Cal.4th 429, 443), we review the criteria for determining whether a relationship is that of an employee or independent contractor.
