$8,000 for out-of-pocket medical expenses. To be reimbursed, an
eligible employee was required to submit a transmittal form to
AgriPlan/BizPlan noting the amount the eligible employee paid or
incurred for heath insurance and out-of-pocket medical expenses
during the year. AgriPlan/BizPlan would then audit the
transmittal form and issue a statement to the farm stating the
amount it should reimburse the eligible employee.
Mr. Francis, as owner and operator of the farm, and Mrs.
Francis executed a written employment agreement in 1997. Mrs.
Francis agreed to keep the farm’s books, run business errands,
and answer telephone calls. The employment agreement also
specified that Mrs. Francis would annually receive $2,004 of
wages and would be an eligible employee under the plan. The
employment agreement did not, however, specify the number of
hours Mrs. Francis was required to work, nor establish the days
or times she was required to be available to work.
In 2001, Mrs. Francis performed some services for the farm.
Neither Mr. Francis nor Mrs. Francis recorded how many hours, if
any, Mrs. Francis worked, or otherwise documented the nature and
extent of the services Mrs. Francis may have performed. Mrs.
Francis received $1,9982 of wages from the farm in 2001.
2The record is unclear why Mrs. Francis received $6 less
than the $2,004 she was specified to receive in 2001 under the
employment agreement.
