Nope.

If the entity that pays you handles the worker's comp insurance and
various tax witholdings, you're an Employee.
If they don't, and leave you to self-insure and self-withhold, you're
a Subcontractor.

It doesn't matter a sideways fart who calls who a "Director" or who
assigns and/or supervises. It's all about the money. End of story.
