Question

Can you provide an example of  the things that differentiate an employee from an independent contractor?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The employees are paid wages constantly, get employee benefits, get their taxes deducted from the wages and also their work and schedule is controlled by the employer. 

Employees who work full time are also offered greater protection like severance, workers compensation, anti-discrimination protection etc. The employees are also request to pay, payroll taxes on their wages. 

The independent coordinators are simply the opposite. They are paid as per the projects. They are required to take care of their own taxes. They are completely free to work when and where they want. For tax evaluation, independent coordinators are considered to be self-employed which implies that they are required to pay self-employment taxes.
