What is the difference between an employee and an independent contractor in Ontario?
Employees have an ongoing relationship with an employer, receive wages/salary, and work under supervision. Independent contractors are self-employed, provide services, and invoice clients for their work. Individuals are not independent contractors just because an employer says they are.
