[Hidden-tech] Question Regarding Consulting

[Christine Dutton]

Thanks, Christopher! I'm in HR, so I'm familiar with these laws. My concern
is that following a precise workshop as directed by the employer might deem
the position as not independent. I'll also be reaching out to some
organizations that provide consultants to get information from the employer
end.
