Brenda Clark, Consultant or Employee or Both?

In a previous post I mentioned that I-SS had hired Brenda Clark as a consultant, through Jim Shipley and Associates, and that she was later hired as an I-SS administrator. It turns out that Brenda Clark was already employed as an I-SS administrator when they hired her as a consultant. According to the invoice from Jim Shipley and Associates, Brenda Clark was hired, at the rate of $1,000.00 a day, for a two-day JSA training session that occurred on August 14 and 15, 2007. However according to the I-SS organizational chart, that was updated on July 18, 2007, Brenda Clark is listed as I-SS Chief Quality Officer. So, while already paying her a very generous salary as an I-SS administrator, I-SS turns around and pays her a thousand dollars a day as a consultant. Who in his right mind would approve of this? Oh, that’s right, Dr. Holliday approved it.
