An independent contractor is a person or entity engaged by a franchisee to perform specific services without being classified as an employee. This relationship is common in fields such as marketing, maintenance, or consulting. Independent contractors handle their own taxes, insurance, and scheduling, and they typically provide services under a contract. It’s important for franchisees to correctly classify workers to comply with labor laws and avoid potential liability.
