INDEPENDENT STATUS OF THE CONTRACTOR Sample Clauses

The "Independent Status of the Contractor" clause establishes that the contractor is not an employee, agent, or legal representative of the hiring party, but rather operates as an independent entity. This clause typically clarifies that the contractor is responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and work methods, and is not entitled to employee benefits or subject to direct supervision. Its core function is to prevent misclassification and legal liability by clearly delineating the relationship between the parties, ensuring both sides understand their rights and obligations.

Additionally, Contractor understands that as an independent contractor, it is not a public employee and is not entitled to contributions from the State to any public employee retirement system. Contractor acknowledges and agrees any individual providing personal services under this agreement is not a public employee for purposes of Chapter 145 of the Ohio Revised Code.
