A contract employee is someone who is "contracted" for some specific work, rather than being "in house". Once the terms of the contract are fulfilled, the employment is terminated. For instance, a high tech firm may have software developers who are permanent employees, working in house to produce their software. But from time to time they may contract salesmen to sell their software once it is produced. The contract may stipulate a commission, a quota, and a time frame for the work to be done, or whatever else.

It's a funny term because all legal employee-employer relationships involve a contract. But as it is meant here, a contract employee is generally a specialist or a short term employee hired on terms that are different than the normal full time employees of the company.
