Re: Contractors as Employees
Generally, contractors are not entitled to any of the benefits of a client's employees. There is no entitlement to vacation in the law. However, you may be entitled to vacation and holiday pay from your employer. Do you have a consulting agreement? Does the consulting company that you work for have any employment policies or a handbook of some kind?
