FAQ
There is no legal requirement for an employee to have a written contract of employment, although having something in writing can make it easier to understand what your contractual obligations and rights are. Sometimes employment contracts can be verbal, which is especially common in small businesses.
A contractor is a person or company that works on a contractual basis, negotiating deals with different clients to work on specific jobs or projects.Unlike employees, contractors do not carry out regular work for a single employer. Instead, they work for a number of different clients as and when required.
Length of Contract. Each client contractor agreement should outline the length of the working relationship. Project Description. Payment Terms. Nondisclosure Terms. Rights and Responsibilities. Termination Clause. Disclaimers.
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.
If the employer fails to provide the employee with a contract, they could land up in jail (section 93 of the BCEA) or be liable for a hefty fine (schedule 2 of the BCEA).If there is no contract, or if the employee has never been informed, then he/she has the right to conclude that it does not exist.
First of all, you can sue your contractor for breach of contract, even without a written contract, and she can sue you as well.See Nolo's article, "Breach of Contract Cases in Small Claims Court," for more on this. However, an alleged oral contract does create difficult evidentiary questions for the judge.
Get it in writing. Keep it simple. Deal with the right person. Identify each party correctly. Spell out all of the details. Specify payment obligations. Agree on circumstances that terminate the contract. Agree on a way to resolve disputes.
Name of contractor and contact information. Name of homeowner and contact information. Describe property in legal terms. List attachments to the contract. The cost. Failure of homeowner to obtain financing. Description of the work and the completion date. Right to stop the project.
Yes, absolutely. Starting work without a signed contract means that your position isn't clear, or even worse it's weak.It also means that the contract is legally enforceable and will be able to support you if you decide to take legal action.
