an employee of an employer, technically one who works for a master. A servant is
distinguished from an "independent contractor" who operates his/her own business
even though spending much time on the work of a particular person or entity. The
servant has established hours or piece work, is under the direction of the employer
even as to details, cannot work for competitors and acts for the benefit of the
employer rather than for himself/herself. The employer of a servant must provide
to the servant (employee) worker's compensation insurance, Social Security coverage,
make income tax deductions, and provide benefit from various federal and state labor
laws. An independent contractor is responsible for such payments and benefits himself/herself.
