In the eyes of the law, employees and contractors are as
different as apples and oranges. Hence numerous legal issues turn on
whether a person is another's employee or, alternatively, an
independent contractor.
The distinction is critical for legal compliance
considerations under workers compensation, benefits, insurance,
taxation and other legislation.
A good contract prepared by a competent labor lawyer will help remove
legal doubts. However, take care. Consider the bias of the person
preparing the contract. . What courts see in some contracts is not
necessarily what it is in facts, so a good preparation is needed.
