Q:  Is an employee an Independent Contractor or an Employee? 

A:  Generally speaking, an employer has the ability to direct or control only the end result of the work performed by an independent contract, whereas with an employee, the employer may also control or direct the means and methods of accomplishing the result.  See the IRS Publication 1779:  Independent Contractor or Employee for more information.
