What is the Russian version of "collaborator" as opposed to "employee"? Thanks!

Russian translation:сотрудник
Explanation:
As opposed to работник. The difference is the same as in English: collaborator may not necessarily work FOR the other party (is not their subordinate), while employee does (and is).

Worker is a synonym of employee. Collaborators generally are not referred to as 'workers,' while employees can be.

внештатный сотрудник (работник) + см. ниже


Explanation:
Если нужно разграничить, то employee я бы перевел как "наемный сотрудник (работник)" или "штатный сотрудник (работник)" или "сотрудник, работающий по найму" или "работающий по найму" - в зависимости от предпочтений автора перевода, а collaborator - как "внештатный сотрудник (работник)".

agree  Ekaterina Guerbek: по-моему, "внештатный" - одно из возможных ключевых слов для разграничения понятий, о которых идет речь; сами по себе слова "сотрудник" и "работник" различия не передают.
