Independent Contractor Agreement
An Independent Contractor Agreement defines engagement terms for non-employee service providers. This playbook guides drafting on scope of work, ownership of deliverables, and classification risk mitigation.
Scope of Work
Negotiation strategy
Ensure the scope of work is comprehensive and aligns with the company's objectives. Include detailed descriptions of services and deliverables to avoid ambiguity.
Negotiate for clear performance standards and acceptance criteria. Ensure that the scope allows for flexibility in service delivery while meeting the client's needs.

Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if the scope lacks clarity or detail, ensuring all elements are covered.
