Morgan Stanley Fixed Income Group - Outsourced Payroll

I was told today that Morgan Stanley's entire fixed income group is not on payroll with MS, but instead is pay rolled through outside companies. Thus effectively making everyone in MS FI a "full time salaried consultant".

I smell bs... anyone know for sure if this is correct?
