Independent Contractor Agreement

Request an expertly drafted Contractor Agreement or Sub Contractor Agreement, customised for your organisation, protecting you, the business and its goodwill.

Suitable for self-employed individuals that provide services to your business in exchange for payment.

Many businesses prefer to outsource tasks to independent contractors instead of engaging employees in some circumstances, for example during project work or when specialist skills are needed.

As heavy penalties are in place for ‘sham-contracting’ (An employment relationship disguised as a contractor relationship), it’s important to first confirm the worker is a genuine independent contractor and not an employee.

Other areas carefully addressed in the contractor agreement include the scope of services, responsibilities, non-compete obligations, payment, intellectual property and confidentiality concerns, insurance obligations, and termination.

The process we apply is:

• Gather relevant information
• Carefully draft the document according to your circumstances
• Arrange a time to discuss, so that you fully understand every clause in the document
• The finished document is emailed in MS Word so you can use it as a template for future employees

All our Contractor Agreements are:

• Compliant with Independent Contractors Act 2006
• Drafted by an experienced and qualified HR consultant
• Customised to your organisational activities
• Branded with your logo
• Delivered in MS Word (fully editable)
