Independence of Contractor Clause Samples
The Independence of Contractor clause establishes that the contractor operates as an independent entity and not as an employee, agent, or representative of the hiring party. In practice, this means the contractor is responsible for their own work methods, taxes, and benefits, and is not subject to the same controls or obligations as employees. This clause clarifies the legal relationship, helping to prevent misclassification and ensuring that each party understands their respective rights and responsibilities.
