An earlier poster here said that contracting companies may be asking for things that they should not and thereby compromising independant status as defined by IRS regulations. Sorry to say that is not true. Independant contractor status is setting up your own business and working by contract for various companies and or for individual work, that is different for every customer of the client, and is a different work project. I was a contracts administrator for 23 years for a company in a prior work life and I watched the wording carefully in those proposed contracts.
I made the proposers remove three clauses before I would even consider the proposal. Those three were "succesors and assigns", "automatic renewal" and the clause where it would cleverly say "no changes can be made to this contract". Once all that was removed, then I would take time to discuss the contract proposal.
When a subcontractor, you get no benefits from the supplier company except "pay for performance". |
