(a) For purposes of local coverage, "employee" shall mean an appointive or elected officer or full-time employee of the local employer, including an employee who is compensated on a fee basis as a convenient method of payment of wages or salary, but who is not a self-employed, independent contractor compensated in a like manner.

behalf of the civil government.
