Andrea C. Carerro points out elsewhere in this thread that a contract 
for services should have a different standing from a contract for 
employment, and that consulting a lawyer is far preferable to assuming 
that a contract is governed by At Will employment laws.  Her comments, 
incidently, provided me the clarity to understand Beth's recent poser, 
which I took presbyopically to be about work arrangements using a 
middleman agency to handle contracts, payroll, etc.  Sorry Beth, I 
didn't mean to evoke such a bleak, Malthusian landscape for all 
contractor-dependent businesses, heh heh :--)

 Everything about Beth's question actually hinges (for me, in the US) on 
whether we're talking about a contract for services as an independent 
contractor would do, or for employment as a W2 temporary employee 
"contractor" would do. 

Over and out.
