Independent Contractor Job Description

An independent contractor is a person who works for a contracting company, but who is not an employee.

An independent contractor is distinguished from an employee in that the contractor has no legal right to control or direct the work of the employer, and the employer has no legal obligation to render work to the contractor.

Instead, the contractor and employer enter into an agreement for performance, usually for a specific project.

The contract is entered into for an agreed length of time, and the contractor is paid for the work performed.

The contractor retains control over his work and schedule, and may have other agreements with the client.

Examples of contractors include engineers and architects who perform work for an employer but who are not employees.
