on/under contract
Hello,
Doesn't "She is under contract to a German company." means that she's working for that company? Macmillan dictionary defines "to be under contract to someone/something" as: to have obligations as a result of working with them". I don't think that's correct.
On the other hand, doesn't "She's on contract with a German company." mean the same? She's working for that company.

" means that she's working for that company? It means that she has agreed a contract with the German company that obliges her to do whatever the contract states. Often this would be some kind of work for the company.

Hmm...basically "on contract" refers to using a service of some king (in our case broadband) after signing a contract. I know that it is much cheaper to buy a cell phone on contract (at least where I live).
