Why you need a professional independent contractor agreement.
An independent contractor agreement and work for hire agreement is
used when a business wants to hire a company or individual from outside their
own company to perform work or services for a limited period of
time. This company or individual may be hired to provide either
specific or a broad range of services.
Simply calling such an individual or company an independent
contractor rather than an employee does not make them one. The working
relationship must comply with the guidelines under IRS rules and the terms of the independent
contractor agreement.

Using independent contractors can be of great benefit to your company and save a considerable amount of money. However, it's important that you understand and clearly distinguish between an independent contractor and a regular employee. Some businesses may classify workers as independent contractors when in fact they should be considered and treated as employees.
Without a professional independent contractor agreement and work for hire agreement you may open your company up to legal and tax liabilities that you had not planned on. Furthermore, you want to make sure you are protecting all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and other intellectual property arising from the work performed under the agreement.
The IRS has specific guidelines on how to classify both employees and independent contractors. Should your company not classify the worker properly, you could suffer significant tax penalties. And it is also possible that a wrong classification could cause added problems and risks to company pension plans and other employee benefits.
