An independent contractor is either an individual or entity that performs work or provides service to another entity under contract and is not controlled or influenced by the client. The client is not responsible to the third party for any legal wrongs such as actions of tort which are independent to that of the contract on behalf of the independent contractor. An employee is covered by employment law whereas a contractor is not. The employer has more control over the means and resources provided to the employee to complete the necessary work whereas the client has limited to no control.
