| | Which document shall I use?
These
document templates cover almost every self employed situation. The following
questions will help you to decide which is most suitable for
you.
-
Are you really an employee? Not
sure? Read the free information on IR35 and self
employment here. If you are, your employee must, by
law, give you a paper setting out the basic terms under which you work. None of
these documents is suitable.
-
If you are self employed,
but do not do work which you would describe as “consultancy”, chose the self
employed contract SC-COM221. You
may be a gardener, a horse trainer, a builder or a yacht repairer. This document is also suitable for the
client to buy and use to make clear that the contract is not one of
employment.
-
If you describe yourself
as a “consultant” or if you are selling expertise or knowledge, you need one of
the following documents.
-
If you take your clients
only off the Internet, you will need a “terms and conditions” document to put on
your website. Use
SC-ECM181.
-
For all other
consultants, it is assumed that you will present your contract to a client on
the basis that the client will probably sign it “as is”, but may wish to
negotiate.SC-COM102 and SC-COM201 contain
similar terms. SC-COM201 is drawn
for specific “assignments”, while SC-COM102 is drawn for repeat work, paid
either by lump sums of by the hour.
Who will use these documents?
Key features:
-
the
consultant contracts 201, 202 and 203 are “over-arching” agreements designed for
ongoing use to cover a series of assignments
-
however,
they may also be used for single assignment
-
SC-COM102 is designed to be used for a
single assignment and signed by the parties. Of course you can save a clean
version and use it many times for different clients.
-
consultant
to work from home or office
-
very
flexible to suit the requirements of either or both parties
-
provides a
complete framework
-
protects
both sides
-
establishes as far as possible a self employed status for the
purposes of IR35
-
reduces
the chances for employer obligations to arise.
Why use these documents?
For
thousands of self employed people some version of this document will be
presented to a new client as “my contract”. For any business using self employed
people it provides the essential starting point for the
relationship.
Note
however, that although the agreement clothes the transaction with all the
characteristics of self employment, simply using one of these contracts will not
necessarily avoid the relationship of employer and employed. Both the Inland
Revenue and any industrial tribunal will be entitled to look behind the
agreement at the reality of the contract. Some of the questions they might ask
are:
-
is this the
contractors only work or does he work for others too?
-
does the client
control how the work is done?
-
are the hours
fixed by the client or can the contractor choose when he works?
-
does the
contractor work on the clients premises, using the client's equipment?
-
to what extent is
the contractor at risk as a self employed person?
-
is self employment
normal for this kind of work?
-
SC-COM201, 102, 202 and 203
include the following provisions; SC-COM221 and SC- ECM181 are
shorter:
-
consultant's
obligations
-
consultant's
status
-
consultant's fees
and expenses
-
duration and
termination
-
matters after
termination
-
consultant's other
work
-
data protection
-
insurance
-
confidentiality
-
intellectual
property
-
appropriate legal
provisions - warranties, exclusions, indemnities |
