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.
