I think it is realistic to assume that many or maybe most of the paid
mappers would not be true "employees" but rather freelancers ( contractors
with contracts on a per project basis. Those will often not have company
supplied email, or will not be formally part of the paying company (instead
for legal reasons will have to appear as independent as possible in order
not to be considered de:"scheinselbständig").
