Contractor Work Order Agreement

"I need a Contractor Work Order Agreement for my software development company based in Ontario, focusing on remote work arrangements and including strong IP protection clauses, as we'll be engaging multiple IT contractors for a large-scale project starting March 2025."

Document background
The Contractor Work Order Agreement is designed for use in Canadian business environments where companies need to engage independent contractors for various projects or services while maintaining legal compliance and operational flexibility. This document serves as a master agreement that establishes the fundamental terms of the contractor relationship, while allowing for specific work assignments to be detailed in individual work orders. It addresses key aspects required under Canadian federal and provincial legislation, including contractor classification, tax implications, workplace safety, and privacy requirements. The agreement is particularly useful for organizations that have recurring needs for contractor services but want to avoid negotiating separate agreements for each engagement.
