An Independent Contractor Agreement is a written contract between two parties for a specific service or project. One person or company is hiring another to help on a short term task. Unlike an employment agreement, this document clearly spells out why the party being hired is not an employee for legal and tax purposes.

The general rule regarding independent contractors states that a person who hires an independent contractor cannot be held vicariously liable for the wrongdoing of the independent contractor.

An Independent Contractor Agreement is a written contract that spells out the terms of the working arrangement between a contractor and client, including: A description of the services provided. Terms and length of the project or service. Payment details (including deposits, retainers, and other billing details)

As with a handwritten signature, a signer must show clear intent to sign an agreement electronically. For example, signers can show intention by using a mouse to draw their signature, typing their name, or clicking an Accept button that is clearly labeled. Consent to do business electronically.

Workers classified as independent contractors should be required to sign a written agreement indicating, among other things, their understanding that the relationship is not an employment relationship for tax purposes or compliance with other federal and state employment laws.
