Freelancers do not have the benefit of a legal department dedicated to protecting their interests with a watertight contract. Nevertheless, a freelancer’s contract must be comprehensive, concise and clear. It should outline the scope of the job, scheduling demands, the expectations of both parties and more. http://tc.eserver.org/30253.html http://tc.eserver.org/30253.html This workshop is designed to help independent contractors write their own contracts. http://tc.eserver.org/20267.html http://tc.eserver.org/20267.html With the decline of employer loyalty to employees and the move to outsource peripheral functions, many technical communicators are exploring the possibility of becoming an independent contractor.
