INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL Clause Samples
The INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL clause defines the relationship between the parties, specifying that one party is engaged as an independent contractor rather than as an employee. This means the professional is responsible for their own taxes, benefits, and work methods, and is not subject to the hiring party’s direct control over how services are performed. The clause clarifies the legal status of the professional, helping to prevent misclassification and associated liabilities for both parties.
