An independent contractor is a little different than an employee. As such, both the employer and the contractor should be aware of what types of legal restrictions and expectations may be included in a work agreement.
In some cases, even if an individual is hired as a contractor, the individual may actually be an employee. According to the descriptions laid out on the ntario website, employment laws look at the relationship between a person and the business, not the label given to a worker. This means that if you think you should be receiving employee benefits even though you are a contractor, the law will examine the relationship you have with the business and determine if you meet the criteria of an employee.
