It's more about respecting the intention of the contract and the intention of the parties. We could do a whole other committee on the resulting conflict that comes out of that when the legislator, or the government, comes in and says, “I don't care that you two decided on an independent contractor-employer relationship. This looks like employee-employer to me. Now you owe back taxes and all these other things.” For a number of years we've been having difficulty with that, because the world of work is changing in terms of how we define a long-term contract, as the IT example provided. It used to be that bringing in your own tools made you a contractor. You used to be able to have short contracts. Now you come in with the tools in your brain. You might work as an IT worker for four or five years, but then that contract ends. Whatever software you have mounted for a system doesn't need you anymore. Then you're on to your next one.
That's where we have to adapt.
