English translation:not the case when a client
Explanation:
First of all, you need to break down the enormously long and wordy sentence into shorter ones, so I suggest making this the start of a new sentence.

not so with the client


Explanation:
It's concerning the power which the employer has over the employee, or the one who carries out or performs the task, which is not so with client, who, when placing an order, does not do so over the employee or the one who carries out the work.

Example sentence(s):
  • Il s'agit du pouvoir du patron sur le salarié ou l'un qui réalise la tâche du travail, ce qui n'est pas le cas du donneur de travail (le client), qui, quand il passe une commande, il ne le fait pas à l'employé (le salarié) ou l'un qui fait le travai
