independent contractor. Self-employed person (architect, consultant, engineer, etc.) who provides certain services to a second-party called the principal (or client or owner), or to a third-party on behalf of the client. An independent contractor is not under the control, guidance, or influence of the client and, unlike an employee, does not owe a fiduciary duty. The client neither deducts the payroll (or the withholding) taxes from payments to the independent contractor, nor contributes the employer's share.
An independent contractor is someone hired by your organization to provide services, but your organization does not have the right to dictate how the independent contractor provides those services. In other words, you can only control the result of the work done, and not the means by which the independent contractor completes the work. Independent contractors do not receive training by your organization, and the work they provide is usually temporary and not integral to your business.
