An example violating this would be a law firm which called their lawyers independent contractors. Contractors set their own work hours. The relationship can be frequent, but it must be at irregular intervals, on call or whenever work is available. Contractors shouldn't hire, supervise, or pay assistants at the direction of the hiring company. If assistants are hired, it should be at the contractor's sole discretion.
Contractors control where they work.
If they work on the premises of the hiring company, it is not under that company s direction or supervision. Contractors determine the order and sequence they will perform their work. No interim reports Contractors are hired for the final result and therefore should not be asked for progress or interim reports. Paid by job Contractors are paid by the job, not by time. Payment by the job can include periodic payments based on a percentage of job completed.
