Todo desembolso por gastos tendrá la documentación de respaldo suficiente y con la información que permita su registro de acuerdo a la clasificación de gastos en las líneas presupuestarias vigentes y deberá ser autorizado por un **empleado independiente** tanto de las actividades de manejo o custodia de los fondos y valores, como de las actividades contables o de registro. Dichos documentos de respaldo deberán inutilizarse con un sello de “Cancelado” al momento de efectuarse el desembolso.

Arqueos sorpresivos a los fondos
La existencia de fondos, cualquiera sea su origen, deberán estar sujeta a comprobaciones físicas mediante arqueos sorpresivos periódicos, practicados por un **empleado independiente**, de quienes tienen la responsabilidad de su custodia y registro.

Asumo que aquí con "empleado independiente" hacen referencia de manera independiente a la separación de funciones (seggregation of duties); no obstante, aun así no estoy seguro de cómo traducir "empleado independiente"

Maybe you've never thought about the difference between being an employee and being an independent contractor (also called a consultant).

or just say "independent worker"

The term "independent worker" is all encompassing and technically includes freelancers, independent contractors, W-2 contract employees, temporary workers, consultants, etc. Do you think people see the term independent worker and understand what it means?

WIKI:

Freelance (sometimes spelled free-lance or free lance),[1] freelancer, or freelance worker, are terms commonly used for a person who is self-employed and not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term. Freelance workers are sometimes represented by a company or a temporary agency that resells freelance labor to clients; others work independently or use professional associations or websites to get work.

While the term independent contractor would be used in a different register of English to designate the tax and employment classes of this type of worker, the term "freelancing" is most common in culture and creative industries, and use of this term may indicate participation therein.[2]

Fields, professions, and industries where freelancing is predominant include: music, writing, acting, computer programming, web design, graphic design, translating and illustrating, film and video production and other forms of piece work which some cultural theorists consider as central to the cognitive-cultural economy.[3]

independent employee or consultant


Explanation:
If an employee is independent then the person may be freelance, or simply outside of the main group of employees. He or she is most likely to be self-employed. In the example sentence the person has a duty to authorize outlays for expenses, suggesting that he or she is in management, deputy or assistant management or consultancy. A consultant gives expert or professional advice, and may also consult someone or something.

"A contractor is a person or a firm who promises to carry out work or supply goods at a fixed rate (especially in construction)."

Independence is incorporated within freelance work.
As another explained, an 'independent worker' being one who does not depend on an income from one employer as a primary income, is a general term to cover more aspects of independence within the field of work or labour market.
The source text explains that the person is independent from management and custody of finances as much as from registry and accountancy.
"Fondos deberán estar sujetos a comprobaciones mediante arqueos periódicos, practicados por un empleado independiente, de quienes tienen la responsabilidad de su custodia y registro."
"Funds must be subject to verification (checks or inspections) carried out periodically by those with responsibility for protective custody (safe-keeping) and registry."

https://www.linguee.com/spanish-english/translation/empleado...

"... talones de nómina de los últimos 30 días, si es empleado independiente, registros recientes de declaración federal de impuestos."
" ... household income or any other money coming in (pay-cheques or wage slips) during the last 30 days, or current federal income tax records if self-employed"

"Otro concepto, para el empleado independiente podría ser de las horas en que está disponible para trabajar o para asistir a clientes."
"Another concept for the self-employed person (independent worker or freelancer) could relate to the hours and times surrounding the person's availability to work or attend clients."

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/freelancer
"A freelancer is a person who sells services to employers without a long term contract or commitment to any of them."




Example sentence(s):
  • Todo desembolso por gastos ... en las líneas presupuestarias vigentes deberá ser autorizado por un empleado independiente.
  • Each financial outlay for expenses ... in the current budgeting lines must be authorized by an independent employee (freelancer or self-employed person), who may be a consultant or (assistant) manager.

disagree  AllegroTrans: If a person is freelance he/she is not an employee at all! Why do you never look at other people's answers and ask yourself whether they may be correct?
