1) If you are an 'ee, than there is a chance that you will receive some training regarding your job duties. The Independent Contactor will not need to be trained because he/she will be hired for the expertise and knowledge that he/she already possess.
2) An 'ee that works in an office setting, would not be required to bring in the "tools" necessary to do their job. Example: computer, fax, typewriter, paper, etc..... However, an Indpendent Contractor would have to bring the tools needed to complete his/her work for the day.
3) When you are an 'ee of a company and have decided that you no longer want to work for them, you may give notice at any time (it's considerate to give proper notice) for whatever reason. However, Independent Contractors have to abide by the contract that they have signed until the job is completed.
4) Independent Contractors must have proof of insurance in order to be considered to be hired for a job. When employed by a workplace, you as an 'ee will most likely be provided with different insurance options.

Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteFor your #2, remember, however, that I could hire an Accountant as an I to complete a short-term special project, provide the person with an office and a computer etc.,. and pay the person upon completion of the project (a lump sum payment). So, even though I have provided office space and equipment the relationship remains IC because the IC controls how s/he will perform.
Thaks! Phil
