[Hidden-tech] Question Regarding Consulting

[Christopher Parker]

The relevant question is who directs their work.  If they deliver a 
product while not being closely supervised they can be a consultant.  If 
your client can direct how they work while they create that product, 
they are an employee.

Evidence that reinforces the case that they are a consultant is if they 
provide their own tools (ie, computer) or if they work for others beside 
your client or if they can pick their hours (ie, if they have discretion 
to take or refuse a workshop opportunity).
