Employee or Self-Employed
According to the Canada Revenue Agency, here are some key features of an employer-subcontractor relationship:
- The worker {sub-contractor} does not have anyone overseeing them.
- The working relationship between the payer and the worker does not present a degree of continuity, loyalty, security, subordination, or integration, all of which are generally associated with an employer-employee relationship.
- The worker does not have to perform the services personally. He or she can hire another party to either complete the work or help complete the work, and pays the costs for doing so.
- The worker is hired for a specific job rather than an ongoing relationship.
- The worker does not receive any protection or benefits from the payer.
