consideration of direct or indirect gain	 or profit, to engage in any employment, but shall not include any person 	
exempted from the definition of employee as stated in RSA 281	-A:2, VI(b)(2), (3), or (4), or RSA 281	-A:2, 	
VII(b), or a person providing services as part of a residential placement fo	r individuals with developmental,

chapter.	 	
 
(b) The person has control and discretion over the means and manner of performance of the work, in that the

bargained for by the employer.	 	
 
(c) The person has control over the time when the work is performed, and the time of performance is not
