What is an Independent Contractor Agreement?<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

An independent contractor agreement is a contract between a company and an individual service provider used to establish the terms of a project-based or temporary employment. The agreement outlines the services provided by the independent contractor and the fees paid by the company for completion. It may also include conditions and provisions corresponding to liability, legal rights, confidentiality, and applicable jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

Independent contractors are responsible for things that full-time employees typically aren\u2019t, such as paying income tax (it doesn’t automatically come out of the check like regular employment), using their tools (unless the company provides them), and getting health insurance.<\/p>\n

Independent contractor agreements are designed to protect the rights and interests of both the contractor and the hiring company, providing clear descriptions of the projects or responsibilities and the details of deadlines, expected quality or outcomes, and payment schedule. Independent contractor agreements also incorporate conditions related to intellectual property, authority, equipment, training, benefits, and the duration of contract.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
