Devine, J.
 

  Appeals from 14 decisions of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, filed December 19, 2013, December 24, 2013, December 30, 2013, January 10, 2014 and January 14, 2014, which ruled, among other things, that Gannett Company Inc. is liable for additional unemployment insurance contributions on remuneration paid to claimants and others similarly situated.
 

  The present appeals bear a striking similarity to prior ones in which we found substantial evidence to support decisions of
   
   *1402
   
  the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board holding that claimants who contracted with Gannett Company Inc. or Gannett Satellite Information Network, Inc. to deliver newspapers and other publications were employees of those entities (see
  
   Matter of Travis [Gannett Satellite Info. Network, Inc
  
  .—Com
  
   missioner of Labor],
  
  127 AD3d 1349, 1349 [2015];
  
   Matter of Gager [Gannett Satellite Info. Network, Inc.
  
  —Commissioner
  
   of Labor],
  
  127 AD3d 1348, 1348-1349 [2015];
  
   Matter of Hunter [Gannett Co., Inc.
  
  —Commissioner
  
   of Labor],
  
  125 AD3d 1166, 1167-1168 [2015];
  
   Matter of Armison [Gannett Co., Inc
  
  .—Com
  
   missioner of Labor],
  
  122 AD3d 1101, 1102-1103 [2014],
  
   lv dismissed
  
  24 NY3d 1209 [2015]). Suffice it to say, we perceive no factual distinctions that would warrant a different result in the appeals now before us. Gannett’s remaining arguments have been examined and are wholly without merit.
 

  Lahtinen, J.P., Lynch and Clark, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decisions are affirmed, without costs.
