As tom and MedMech...er...Howitzer, have indicated, this "emplyee" may be an independent contractor.

Employers want to save on labor costs by re-classifying bona fide employees as independent contractor. Yet, the employer wants to maintain the same amount of control over the "independent" contractor as they have over a regular employee.

The IRS and your state's Labor Commissioner take a dim view on this.

Here is a link to the IRS publication explaining the difference between what an independent contractor is and what he is not.

Independent Contractors

Good luck.
