If you run a small business that hires 1099 contractors, also known as independent contractors, it is vital that you have them sign an independent contractor contract. This is because there is a significant gray area between who is classified as an independent contractor and who is classified as an employee.
For most types of projects you hire an independent contractor (IC) to do, the law does not require you to put anything in writing. You can meet with the IC, agree on the terms of your arrangement, and have an oral contract or agreement that is legally binding. Just because you can doesn't mean you should, however.
Both parties should sign the contract, and both should be bound by the terms and conditions spelled out in the agreement.
