Document background
The Virtual Assistant Independent Contractor Agreement is designed for businesses and individuals in Switzerland seeking to engage virtual assistants on an independent contractor basis. This document has become increasingly important with the rise of remote work and digital service provision, particularly under Swiss jurisdiction where clear distinction between employees and independent contractors is crucial. The agreement comprehensively addresses key aspects required under Swiss law, including compliance with the Code of Obligations (OR/CO), data protection regulations (FADP), and social security requirements. It is specifically structured to protect both parties' interests while maintaining the independence of the virtual assistant, covering essential elements such as scope of services, confidentiality, data protection, intellectual property rights, and payment terms. The document is particularly relevant in today's digital business environment where remote administrative and operational support has become standard practice.
