Employment and Independent Contractor Agreements Course

Training Outlines

Introduction

Employment and independent-contractor arrangements create fundamentally different legal, tax and operational relationships. Calling an individual a contractor does not determine status if control, integration and economic reality indicate employment. Classification rules also vary materially between jurisdictions, making disciplined fact analysis and local advice essential.

This course helps HR, procurement, legal and operational professionals structure and review both forms of agreement. Participants examine duties, remuneration, benefits, deliverables, tax responsibility, confidentiality, intellectual property, data, restrictive covenants and termination. Practical comparisons reveal where template clauses conflict with working practices and how onboarding, governance and offboarding controls can reduce misclassification and contractual risk.
