What is an Independent Contractor?

I need a contract as a an agent (Manfuacturer Rep) for a company selling food ingredients and retail products. The agreement will have to be good in the USA and Asia.

I have an after school tutoring business. I am hiring teachers. What I need is a contract outlineing what they must do. Taking roll, and producing a progress report. Without them I don't get paid and I don't want them to be paid.

Help. I currently own a home. I have also remarried in the last 4 years. My new mother-in-law recently broke a hip and will now need to move in with us. Due to current economic conditions, the best course of action was to hire a contractor to build an inlaw suite to my existing home. All three of us signed the contract. Now, the mother-in-law wishes to get out of the contract because she has decided not to move in. Her reasons are somewhat valid, but she doesn't realize that we ALL signed the contract. Therefore, we are still liable. There was on recission clause in the contract, nor any contingency clause with respect to payment. My mother-in-law was going to pay the cost to build the in-law suite. Since I am legally the homeowner, what legal recourse do I have? I do not want to be the person left "holding the bag," so what can I do? I'm waiting to hear back from the contractor to see if he wishes to remodel my basement for a lesser fee as opposed to building on an addition.

Carolyn: Have your husband absorb the cost (it is his mother, after all), and hold it over his head for eternity.

Sure, you have legal recourse available to you... but it's just not worth it.

I have a question and I hope I can get a quick answer.
As a dentist, I am working as an independent contractor to other doctor's clinics. At the moment, I am looking to purchase health insurance but most people have told me that I have to have a business account, hence having a business entity registered. I don't want to open an LLC or a Corporation, since I do not own a clinic and have no employees. Can anyone tell me the right way to register a business entity?
Thanks,
D.

I am a s-corp and need a contract or a release of liability of some sort. I power wash apartments and do not want to be liable for damage or injury due to water leaking into apartments because of poor construction of apartments.
Thanks!

I am the owner of a large garden with extensive plantings of exotic plants and a swimming pool. I am in contact with and plan to employ a man that is capable of maintaining my property when I am absent due to business travel. This person has the capabilities and skills to do the work. He is in possession of his own tools and truck / trailer.
The work schedule is estimated to be four to six days per month.

I wish to be relieved of the bother of maintaining this ground keepers tax and workers compensation records. Instead I wish to hire him as an independent contractor.
Is there a contact for this sort of agreement?

I am opening a barber shop. I want to hire Barbers as independent contractors. The Barbers will be paid a percentage of each cut. Do you have any contracts I could use.

People such as doctors, dentists, veterinarians, lawyers, accountants, contractors, subcontractors, public stenographers, or auctioneers who are in an independent trade, business, or profession in which they offer their services to the general public are generally independent contractors. However, whether these people are independent contractors or employees depends on the facts in each case. The general rule is that an individual is an independent contractor if the payer has the right to control or direct only the result of the work and not what will be done and how it will be done. The earnings of a person who is working as an independent contractor are subject to Self-Employment Tax. The growth of jobs during the financial recovery has been, at the best, anemic. Many businesses are choosing to hire independent contractors to fill gaps in their jobs. Before you sign on as an independent contractor, it is important to understand the differentiation. Thus, Making the distinction; employee versus independent contractor IRS was made.

An independent contractor is a natural person, business, or corporation that provides goods or services to another entity under terms specified in a contract or within a verbal agreement. Unlike an employee, an independent contractor does not work regularly for an employer but works as and when required, during which time he or she may be subject to the Law of Agency. Independent contractors are usually paid on a freelance basis. Contractors often work through a limited company or franchise, which they themselves own, or may work through an umbrella company.

I am opening a equine conditioning center with an underwater treadmill and free flow walker to condition horses post surgery , post injury or just general conditioning. If the horse is under a veternarian's care I will of course follow his instructions. I need a form for a release of liability for the horse while he is in my care, at my facility. I already have the state warning signs posted at my barn. Is there a simple form I can have signed when th horse is dropped off at my barn.

I have a vacant building that I would like to loan out to a family for a holiday dinner, what kind of liability agreement do I need to have them sign for just the one day?

Please let me know what kind of form I can have someone sign when we are using our stock trailer to haul other peoples supplies and animals and not be liable.
