Document background
In the evolving Malaysian business landscape, organizations increasingly engage independent contractors for specialized services and project-based work. The Self Employment Agreement serves as a crucial legal document that establishes and governs the relationship between a client and an independent contractor. This agreement is essential for businesses operating in Malaysia who wish to engage professionals on a self-employed basis while ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations. The document includes detailed provisions for scope of work, compensation, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and other key terms, while clearly distinguishing the arrangement from an employment relationship. It's particularly relevant given Malaysia's growing gig economy and the need for flexible working arrangements across various sectors.
