If they do that sort of thing, it may violate the definition of the contractor status for tax purposes, and you may be reclassified as an employee.

- buffington 3y agoIf they do what sort of thing? Monitor stuff? It all depends on the nature of the consultancy agreement. If you work for the financial industry as a consultant you can expect to allow monitoring. I don't know of a single place that makes the law clear, but if you dig in a bit, you can find a lot of resources that describe the legal differences between contractors and employees. One thing that's evident in nearly anything you can find is that contractors basically have no protections. The IRS doesn't care in the slightest if an employer monitors a contractor.
