A servant, often referred to as an employee, works under the control and direction of an employer, following specific instructions and guidelines set by them. In contrast, an independent contractor operates as a self-employed individual who provides services to clients or businesses under a contract, maintaining greater autonomy over how the work is performed. The key difference lies in the level of control and independence, with servants being more directly managed and independent contractors having the freedom to choose how to accomplish their tasks.

A servant, or employee, works under the control and direction of an employer, who dictates the terms of their work, including hours and methods.
