contractor agreement

Hired worker terms

A contractor agreement is a legal document establishing the terms between a business and an independent contractor—covering scope of work, payment, deadlines, and intellectual property rights.

Unlike employment contracts, contractor agreements specify that the worker isn't an employee and isn't entitled to benefits: Make sure you sign the contractor agreement before starting the project.
