provisions of this Act. As used in this Act, the term "employer" shall include any individual,
partnership, association, corporation, limited liability company, business trust, employment and

business or agency with the third party, or any person or group of
persons acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer in
relation to an employee, for which one or more persons is gainfully employed. As used in this Act, the term "employee" shall include any individual
permitted to work by an employer in an occupation, but shall not include any

| control and direction over the performance of his work, both under his contract of service with his employer and in fact; and
|
|
(2) who performs work which is either outside the
|
| usual course of business or is performed outside all of the places of business of the employer unless the employer is in the business of contracting with third parties for the placement of employees; and
