 Comparison of Regular Employee against Independent Contractor:

• Employer provides trainings to employees, but not to contractors (an employer is interested to invest into long-term employment relationships and development of professionalism of his regular workforce, while contractors are expected to be established and effective specialists);
• Employers can require from their employees to work on-site only (for example in the office), while contractors can work where it makes sense for their job accomplishment and successful results (the employer may suggest a workplace, but cannot demand to work there);
• Worker can complete his tasks off-site when he is an independent contractor, while employee needs special permission and grounds to work remotely (a staff member needs to provide the proof of his inability to reach his workplace on-time or on certain day each time he is late or absent, let’s say a medical report);

• Benefits and other social guarantees are provided to regular staff members, while contractors usually don’t receive any social package from their employers, until this aspect is somehow deliberated in the contract;
• Expenses per workplace (including overhead costs) are planned and managed by employers for their regular team, while contractors pay their expenses themselves, until some costs are compensated according to terms of contract;
• Employees as well as independent contractors sign employment contracts for services they provide to their employers, but a regular employee can have only one active employment contract, while.....
