Comment: "I think the important point is that the person is not self-employed. Also, lucrative in the US means that it pays a lot of money (as B D Finch pointed out for the UK)."

: "Lucrative" in UK English would mean that the activity brought in not just some money, but lots of it.

B D Finch
: Unfortunately, the only source for the expression you suggest is the Vaud one. Not a generally used expression in English, as "dependent" tends to be used in relation to family members, rather than employee status.

2. is in fact paid for the services performed, whether or not there was any desire, hope or intention of obtaining remuneration2.

I'm pretty sure it's "activité [...] dépendante," but I found the reference in 1.2 to "l’employeur" and "un tiers" more telling.

Thanks cc. Interesting link: it almost looks like it should be "dépendentes" to agree with "personnes".
