How long can a contractor work for the same company?

There is no limit to how long a contractor can work for the same company. There is often a belief that a contractor cannot work longer than two years with the same company, but this is false. As long as there is work to be done and the two parties are in agreement, contractors can work for an unlimited amount of time with one company.

It is important to note that while there is no time limit for how long a contractor can work for the same company, there can often be instances where an employment relationship can form, which adds to more legal issues. Basically, to keep a contractor as just a contractor, a company must make sure that the contractor is only working on what they are contracted to work on.
