Employer-Employee Relationship

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the employee/employer relationship from the perspective of the employment at-will common law. The paper focuses on a situational analysis whereby a contractor hired to complete a project is kept on to continue working on other projects at a given company. Finally, after a lengthy period time, the contractor is released. The paper implies that the contractor cannot avail herself of employment at-will discharge related recourses because she was never hired as a permanent, full-time employee but retained on a per project basis.

From the Paper:

"Employer/Employee Relationship Quiz Mary is initially an independent contractor. The intent for her services has been targeted to the completion of a specific project. The company has entered into a contractual agreement with Mary to complete this original project. There is little doubt that she is a 3rd party contractor at the outset relative to the company and was never intended to be a full-time, permanent employee of the company. Mary, by being an independent contractor for hire is a 1099 employee. In other words, the company, by hiring her specifically for a given project pays only for her services rendered and assumes no other employee related expenses such as healthcare benefits, retirement benefits, or other assorted benefits and services commonly associated with employer/employee relationships."
