The distinction between an employee and independent contractor is critical because companies are generally liable for actions of employees, as long as those actions are performed within the scope of the employment relationship. However, companies are not generally liable for the actions of independent contractors.
If the owner refuses to pay the general contractor for work a subcontractor has performed, the subcontractor has the right to file a mechanic's lien against the property for the cost of the unpaid work. The following is an example of a State Statute (Oklahoma) defining Sub contractor: contractor who behaves and is treated like an employee is an employee from the viewpoint of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS applies a 20-part test in order to determine whether a certain worker should be classified as an employee or an independent contractor.
