An individual or firm used in performing
work on construction projects. Different
classes of contractors are found in the
marketplace. Most often, persons referred to
as contractors are in fact sub-contractors
working on a project under a general
contractor. The sub-contractor performs a
particular task under the direction and
co-ordination of the general contractor who,
in turn, takes responsibility for managing
the project according to the construction
documents. The general contractor is
normally selected through bidding procedures
and is totally responsible for the
satisfactory completion of the project.
Independent contractor status has become
particularly widespread with commissioned
salespeople.
Control
Is the employer able to control or
generally regulate through supervision, the
activities of the individual?
Contract for Service
The contracting for a specific service
and a specified result with supporting
documentation is a strong indication of an
independent contractor status.
Ownership and Economic Reality
An independent contractor owns his own
tools or the materials necessary to perform
the contracted services. That ownership
extends to various things usual to an
independent business; e.g. opportunity to
profit, risk associated with a business
venture and investment in the business.
