A contract is the foundation upon which any employment situation builds success. Whether the contract is a single page or a 50 page document, it exists to serve us.
A contract establishes the vital components of a working relationship:
It defines WHAT the job is (providing a schedule of hours including location/s, outlines the duties/services required of the “employee”, states the fees to be paid for the duties/services provided by the “employee”, etc.)
It defines the RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES of both contract parties
It defines LINES OF COMMUNICATION (who will questions/issues be conveyed to if there is a problem during the contract If the contract fails, what happens…etc.)
