Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between an employee and an independent contractor?
The distinction lies in factors such as control over work, payment methods, and provision of tools. Our lawyers can help you classify your workers correctly to avoid legal issues.
Do I need a separate agreement for subcontractors?
Yes, it’s advisable to have a specific subcontractor agreement in place to clearly define roles, responsibilities, and liabilities.
Can a contractor be found to be an employee?
Yes, if the working arrangement doesn’t reflect a genuine contractor relationship, courts or tribunals may deem it an employment relationship. Our lawyers can help you structure your agreements to minimise this risk.
What happens if there's a dispute between the parties?
A well-drafted contractor agreement should include dispute resolution clauses. We can advise on the best approach to resolve conflicts, whether through negotiation, mediation, or legal action.
How often should I review my contractor agreements?
We recommend reviewing your agreements annually or whenever there are significant changes in your business or relevant laws.
