A Kentucky independent contractor agreement is a legal document signed by a contractor and the entity that hired them for a specific job or task. This document is comprised of terms negotiated by the two signing parties that help establish a working relationship for a designated period of time. The term ‘independent contractor’ encompasses a vast number of job types, positions, and professions, and is used in contrast to the term ’employee,’ thus making the contractor agreement an altogether different document than an employment contract agreement. Aside from establishing terms of payment for services rendered, a contractor agreement covers provisions such as expenses, insurance, taxes, licenses, workers’ compensation, and termination.
