Independent Contractor Agreement

An Independent Contractor is not an employee. Technically speaking a company is the client of an independent contractor. An employer may not dictate how, when, or where an independent contractor works. However, an independent contractor agreement is in place to set forth what is expected of the independent contractor, as well as the company, at the price, or rate, set forth in the agreement. An Independent Contractor agreement is important so that the two parties, employer/company and independent contractor, understand what the specifics of the project are that the independent contractor is hired to perform, and the time frame which the project is expected to be completed.
