The terms are negotiated between the company and the contractors.

Being a contractor doesn't automatically grant someone the right to delegate access to sites and such.

I think a lot of people in this thread have misunderstand what the law is actually saying. The law doesn't say that if you're given contractor status you can do whatever you want. The law says that if the job is misclassified as a contracting position when it should be a full-time position, then the employee is owed benefits and such.

If you sign a contract with a company that says you will not share the code, design docs, system access credentials, physical building access, or other common stipulations, you can't automatically ignore those because you're a contractor.
