You need a freelance contract when working as an independent contractor for someone or for a business. In a contract, you should set the terms of the job and payment schedule clearly.
For an employer, using freelance professionals is an intelligent way to take care of urgent work or handle lack of manpower. Just like a normal work contract, you need a freelancer contract when there’s a complex project involved. A contract will clearly define the score of work, timeframe and compensation, therefore there’re high chance to avoid any conflict in the future.
What should be included in a freelance contract?
Mention the services the freelancer will provide. Also mention how many changes the client can request. Write clear guidelines around the scope of the project, so that there’s no confusion in the future. Set clear payment terms and timing, so the freelancer gets paid on time. If for any reason, the client or the freelancer doesn’t want to continue the project and wants to terminate the contract, make sure all the terms are clearly mentioned. Both parties should sign the contract. Their full name must be mentioned as well.
Contractors may or may not be self-employed and their employment period is determined via a constructed contract that mentions a fixed period of time. On the other side, the freelancers are 100% self-employed and work by hour, day, or project
