Actually, you're right:
"If henchmen are defined as the associates, companions, and loyal (to some degree) followers of a player character, hirelings are the servitors, mercenaries, and employees of such player characters" (Gygax,
DMG, 29)
Although there is nothing to say a henchman won't cut and run if not treated well.
I love the (surprisingly detailed) mechanics for henchmen loyalty checks (36-38).
And yet another word from our sponsors
