The Freelance Employment Contract serves as a crucial document in the growing gig economy, protecting both clients and independent contractors under U.S. law. This agreement is essential when engaging freelancers for specific projects or ongoing services, ensuring clear expectations and legal compliance. The contract addresses key aspects such as worker classification, intellectual property rights, payment terms, and scope of work, while maintaining compliance with federal and state regulations governing independent contractor relationships. It's particularly important given the increased scrutiny of worker classification and the rise of remote work arrangements.
