Contractors are individuals who perform services defined by a contract or other separate agreement for an end user who is not the contractor's employer.
Brokers are individuals or firms that assist contractors in their relationship with the end user.
It is a basic right of the contractor that the broker shall have no interest or strategic alliance that conflicts with the best interests of the contractor. Whenever the potential for a conflict of interest exists, it is incumbent upon the broker to operate always in the best interest of the contractor. The contractor performs direct services for the end user, whereas the contractor performs no direct services for the broker. The end user pays for the contractor's labor, either directly or through the broker. It is the end user that evaluates the performance of the contractor, and to which the contractor is ultimately accountable.
