Employer-Employee Contract Paper
Case Study: Little Lamb Company needs an additional programmer for a special project. The company enters into a contract with Mary to complete this project.

While completing the new project, the supervisor begins working more closely with Mary and requires her to use company materials and equipment while adhering to company work schedules. After two years, economic conditions force the company to make budget cuts. Mary is asked to leave. Thirty days later, a major contract is acquired by the company, which reinstates the need for Mary’s services as a programmer.
