For your first assignment, you will be filling out this Independent Contractor Worksheet and the three (3) Independent Contractor Agreements that follow. This could be for a business you own or work at, or one you hope to create. The objective of this assignment is to begin to think about and plan for the independent contractors that you’ll be hiring to perform services for your business (current or future). To start, you’ll list three types of businesses that you might utilize as independent contractors below (i.e. graphic design, copy editing etc.). Next, for each of the three businesses you’ve chosen, outline the type of services that you want from each (what you expect them to do). Finally, determine the amount of compensation that you’re willing to provide for those services, when it will be paid as well as the due date for the work. You will also need to include a termination date for the contract and indicate whether or not there will be an option to terminate. Finally, you must indicate which state the governing law will take place in and then stipulate any additional terms and conditions associated with the work.
After you complete the information in Part I., you will fill out/complete the three Independent Contractor Agreements that follow. This completed template is due by Sunday midnight of Week 5 and should be uploaded to Blackboard. Please reach out to your professor with any questions. Good luck.
