EMPLOYMENT MATTERS

The work world is becoming more and more reliant on Independent Contractors and Temporary Employees. Unfortunately, many companies and individuals enter into these types of scenarios with a simple verbal agreement and do not document the terms and boundaries of such arrangements. While most of the time the parties to such an arrangement will get along just fine, and may one day part ways amicably, the exception can be disastrous and expensive to both parties. When viewing an Independent Contractor agreement or a Temporary Employee agreement, both sides must be cognizant of the following:

Express and implied warranties
Insurance issues
Indemnification issues
Duration of the agreement
Duties upon termination of such an agreement
