Contractor

Contractor means:
a person who contracts to do work for another. An independent contractor agrees to do a specific piece of work, retaining control of the means and method of doing the job; neither party has the right to terminate the contract at will. Examples of independent contractors are physicians, lawyers, construction contractors, and others engaged in professions in which they offer their services to the public. Federal income taxes and Social Security taxes are not withheld by employers of independent contractors, who are subject to the self-employment tax.
