Independent Contractor

Independent Contractor – An independent contractor is an individual or company that, under a specific arrangement, will supply products or services to another individual or business.  An independent contractor is not bound to a company or person like a regular employee.  They are usually considered freelance and will maintain control over the number of hours they put in, what services they provide and how often they will work for a company.  Independent contractors can work for many different individuals or businesses and the relationship between contractors and employers is generally terminated once the job is complete.
