WHAT IS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT?
Basically, a DIY Independent Contractor Agreement is a contract you send to the person (freelancer, independent contractor, etc.) you’re hiring or working with to do a job for you in your business. They’re NOT your employee — this is a person you only want to hire as an independent contractor. Essentially this means they work at their own pace, on their own hours, and at a location of their choosing. This DIY Independent Contractor Agreement template addresses issues like:
- How much they’re paid + how
- What counts as “work“
- When you can terminate your independent contractor
- How they’re to manage your passwords, login info
- What they need to do to protect your business’s confidential info
- How they are independent contractors, not employees or representatives, of your company – SO important for legal reasons!
- & so, so much more!
