To me being an IC means a company cannot tell me what I can or cannot do with my time. For instance, I would feel perfectly comfortable walking into an electronics store and performing the following three shops in one trip.
MSC A/Client store - evaluate the computer sales rep
MSC B/Client vendor - evaluate the vendor rep in TVs
MSC C/Client vendor - evaluate a display with no employee interaction
Three different shops, three unique reports, no overlap. In each case my start and end time would pertain to just that shop, not my overall time in the store.
