bobert When would a person be considered an employee who is not contracted or paid?
stevens being an employee does not have anything to do with money, as long as the employer can control and direct ......
apiccion @bobert,
I believe it depends on the legal classification of the relationship. In my country an employer/employee relationship requires that the employer fulfill certain obligations to the employee such as deducting income tax from salary, providing due notice and/or compensation for termination, etc.

A contract relationship could be a consultant/company relationship. Where the terms of the arrangement are largely determined by the written agreement between the company and the consultant.
mtsimone In the US tax code, providing the tools to do the job and controlling how and when the work is performed defines and ER/EE relationship. To control only the work product (and presumably the delivery date) defines an independent contractor. As always, facts and circumstances will round this general outline out.
