Generally, the wages paid for labor of a contact laborer are governed only by the contract. If the contract does not provide for overtime pay, none is due. Sometimes a contract employee will try to avoid this rule by denying that he is a contract employee. This may be disproved by a written contract, by the employer's records, or by the conditions of employment. The conditions of employment that establish an independent contractor vs employee relationship with the employer is a complicated area of the law. Either party may have tax problems if the relationship is misunderstood.
