Independent Contractor

Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech

An independent contractor is an individual or a business entity that provides services to another company or individual without being employed as a permanent staff. Independent contractors are hired on a project basis and are responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and expenses. In the United States, companies often hire independent contractors to reduce costs associated with employment taxes, benefits, and other legal obligations. Independent contractors have greater flexibility and control over their work but are not entitled to employee benefits such as health insurance, retirement benefits, and paid vacation time. The relationship between an independent contractor and a company is defined by a contract that outlines the terms and conditions of the engagement.
