The Connecticut independent contractor agreement is used to bind an independently operating contractor to the terms established by a client. The contract agreement confirms the designated salary, worker responsibilities, completion date (if applicable), termination procedures, and provisions protecting the client’s proprietary and confidential information. Apart from outlining how the position shall be managed, the agreement helps prove that the contractor is not an employee and is therefore not entitled to benefits typically bestowed upon standard employees (e.g., health benefits, unemployment insurance).
