ENGINEER IS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR Clause Samples

The 'Engineer is an Independent Contractor' clause establishes that the engineer is not an employee of the hiring party, but rather operates as a separate, self-directed business entity. This means the engineer is responsible for their own taxes, benefits, and work methods, and is not subject to the same supervision or control as an employee. By clearly defining the relationship, this clause helps prevent misclassification issues and allocates responsibility for legal and financial obligations appropriately.
