As a contractor, I get paid for every hour I work. I've been told horror stories from people who make salaries. Employers really abuse it.

When I was a contractor, I had to agree to perform my services for a lump sum price, loosely based upon a per/sq. ft. amount.  I paid my employees hourly.  Shitty part of it was there was typically no room for renegotiation, once the lump sum price was agreed upon.  Some times it bit me in the ass, like when I would have to put my workers on multiple days worth of prep work, that was not allowed to be accounted for in the bid price.
