Good to know
When is someone an employee instead?+
If you control their hours, they work mainly for you, and you supply their tools, the law may see them as an employee — use the Employment Contract instead.
Do I deduct tax?+
Independent contractors handle their own tax. Employees need PAYE — that's the difference.
Is this legal advice?+
No. It's a professionally structured starting point. For high-value or unusual deals, have an attorney review your completed document.
