"shift from the employee to employer"
The company I am providing design services to are not my 'employer'.
That is, and will continue to be my company, which covers all my training, sick pay (I was off for a month last year after emergency surgery), holiday pay, benefits etc.
I have also had an employee (for a project which fell through, we're still on good terms, he keeps trying to
persuade me do some work for him now), a situation I'd like to repeat and grow the company.
Again, the crowd I'm doing some work for _now_ are not my employer.
