Use an independent contractor agreement.

Have lawyer drafted compensation agreements and separation agreements.
Let independent contractors set their own work schedule (e.g., no required desk time) and provide their own work tools (e.g., car, phone, computer).
Never refer to independent contractors as employees.
The less brokerage control over the independent contractor while in compliance with license law supervision requirements, the better to pass the ABC test on control.
