Frequently Asked Questions
What is an independent contractor agreement?
An independent contractor agreement defines the terms of a working relationship between a business and a self-employed individual, establishing that the worker is not an employee.
How do I avoid misclassifying a contractor as an employee?
Ensure your contract and working relationship reflect true contractor status: the contractor controls how they work, uses their own tools, works for multiple clients, and is paid per project rather than a salary.
What is the ABC test for contractor classification?
The ABC test (used in California and other states) requires that a worker is: (A) free from company control, (B) performing work outside the company's usual business, and (C) customarily engaged in an independent trade.
