Consultant & Independent Contractor Agreements

Description

Get Your Contract in Writing With the rise of the gig economy, independent contractor arrangements are more common than ever. Whether you’re an independent contractor or a business hiring one to work for you, a written agreement will help to protect your rights, define expectations, and prove that there’s no employer-employee relationship. Included are customizable agreements for independent contractors and freelancers in a multitude of fields, such as sales, accounting, software consulting, and construction. Along with the agreements, you’ll find detailed instructions on how to: •  draft a binding agreement •  define a project’s scope •  preserve confidentiality •  distinguish between employees and independent contractors •  protect your intellectual property •  amend your agreement, and •  satisfy IRS requirements. Each chapter has two agreements—one geared towards the independent contractor and one geared towards the business hiring an independent contractor. The 11th edition is completely updated to provide the latest rules and regulations, and gives advice on how to address independent contractors’ potential use of artificial intelligence. With Donwloadable Forms inside the book.
