Document background
The Work Service Agreement is essential for businesses operating in Canada that engage external service providers or independent contractors. This document is specifically designed to comply with Canadian federal and provincial regulations while establishing clear parameters for professional service relationships. It addresses key aspects such as service delivery, payment terms, and performance standards, while carefully distinguishing between independent contractor and employment relationships to ensure compliance with Canadian tax and employment laws. The agreement is particularly important given the increasing prevalence of contract work and professional services in the Canadian economy, and helps protect both service providers and clients by clearly defining their respective rights, obligations, and expectations.
