    Probably let them pick the hours they worked. If the money is good and its not abused it can be beneficial to the independent contractor. I think fedex works this way.

      They usually don’t. There’s been increasing lawsuits over classifying employees as contractors because you can’t just call someone a contractor and have them suddenly be excluded from a lot of labor laws.

        Right. There’s very clear rules on this. Generally, if you only have one “client”, they set your hours, and/or control your vacation time, you’re an employee. If you’re a real contractor, then companies only have loose control over you.
