[Note: the Spanish version explicitly refers to both male and female grammatical endings in the sub-headings of this section.]

[Below the text is a picture of an employer.]
2. Worker on their own account: is a person who works alone or with an associate in their own business, without establishing dependence with an employer and without hiring permanent salaried personnel. They can, in certain cases, have under their dependence one or more remunerated workers (generally family members) or salaried workers hired for short or occasional periods. The person defines the work conditions and fixes the value of the goods produced, or of the services rendered, or the price of merchandise sold.
