Contract worker versus employee has nothing to do with the workers, it has to do with the company trying to avoid employment taxes. If you are a contract worker, the employer does not have to pay employment tax on you, and the employer cannot set your hours worked in a day.
If you are a contract employee and your employer tries to control your hours, quietly make a phone call to the state/ federal tax authorities.
OH but if they find out they will fire me. Then you have a whistle blower suit against the company.
