Contractor and employment agreements
Tailored agreements that work for you
Our tailored Independent Contractor and Subcontractor Agreements help you create trust and boundaries, essential to establishing and maintaining sound working relationships.
Our employment agreements are totally bespoke, drafted by a specialist HR lawyer and are designed to cover all aspects of the employment relationship, creating trust and boundaries from the outset.
Why use independent contractor & sub-contractor agreements?
They’ll help you understand the different roles and responsibilities of independent contractors and sub-contractors on a job. For example, the head building contractor on a construction project should have Sub-Contractor agreements for the different tradespeople being used.
Clear definitions detail the roles and responsibilities, and the relationships between people and companies working on a project.
Watertight agreements can mitigate risk and avoid costly claims where Sub-Contractors or Independent Contractors think they are employees when injured or audited for tax reasons.
They provide boundaries for governance should contractors need to be removed from site for being under the influence of drugs/alcohol or operating dangerously.
Sound agreements detail all qualifications, licenses and skills necessary to contractors to complete their work properly, and in accordance with legal requirements.
Agreements provide recourse for when Sub-Contractors’ work is deficient and they won’t fix it, so the main contractor can get another sub-contractor in to remedy it in a timely manner.
Agreements can be produced for multi-project use to save you time and money, or tailored to suit individual projects where specific requirements are key.
