This is a legal question. Not a math question. The answer depends on the contract. But if they were fired the contract seems already broken so I would say no they do not get paid. The way the question is structured it sounds like they were paid for hours worked, not for completion of the job.

A general Contractor does not typically charge by the hour. They usually charge by the job or by percentage. A G.C.'s job is to hire and coordinate not to "work" so hours would be a pore measure of his worth. Perhaps you are confusing a GC with a Home Improvement Contractor?


What is contract work how is it different from being a tenured employee?

Genetally contract work, which is done by a "contractor" is for a certain period of time. Like anything from a week long job painting a house to a 15 month project developing a component on a fighter jet and once the work is complete the contractor is no longer needed. He/she isn't fired, just let go at the end of their contracted time frame. A tenured employee would be like a profressor or something..generally these employees cannot be laid off...they can be fired if they do something to warrent it, but they are pretty much permament employees.


What is the difference between an Independent contractor and an employee?

That is based on weighing several factors - sometimes the difference is clear sometimes a close call. What DOES NOT matter? The intention of the worker and the boss and what they call the worker. Saying you are a contractor does not make you one. Factors: Does the boss direct the manner and speed of accomplishing the work? The worker is probably an employee. Does the worker provide his/her own tools and supplies, and support devices like phones, computers, and fax. probably a contractor. Does the boss supervise other workers doing exactly the work the "contractor" does? The contractor is just another employee. Is the worker paid for COMPLETING a task, not just for working on it? Probably a contractor. Paid for working even if completion not reached - probably an employee. Is the workers entire pay at risk - no completion, no pay? That's a contractor. Is the worker's pay assured despite quality of work - that's an employee until fired.
