"He sets his own hours and works on special projects for many companies."

Reason: Independent contractors control how and when they work, often take on multiple clients, and do tasks that are not integrated into the hiring company's regular operations. The other options (at-will quitting/termination, being supervised closely, performing regular business operations) point toward employee status.
