Document background
The Independent Contractor Contract is essential for businesses in Singapore engaging external service providers outside of traditional employment relationships. This agreement is particularly crucial given Singapore's strict employment regulations and the need to clearly differentiate independent contractors from employees. The contract addresses key aspects including service scope, payment terms, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and termination provisions, while ensuring compliance with Singapore's legal framework. It's designed to protect both parties' interests while maintaining the contractor's independence and avoiding misclassification risks under Singapore employment law.
