person, lawn maintenance person and so on. The document
emphasises the self employed status of the contractor
About this document
This document is suitable for:
• Sole trading, self employed gardeners, garden designers, landscape architects, lawn maintenance people, pond maintenance people or anyone who provides garden and outdoor services for the home or a business. These self employed people will present the document to the client as “my contract”;
• Any business which provides outdoor services such as gardening, lawn maintenance, lawn cutting, garden design and so on. In this case, it provides the essential starting point for the relationship between you and your client.
The contract emphasises the contractors self employed status.
If however, your company employs gardeners and landscape designers specifically to contract them out, you will need both contracts of employment between yourself and your employees as well as an agreement for your contracting company, that is, between you and the client, all of which can be found on the Net Lawman website. Note, this document is not suitable as it has been drawn purely for sole traders.
