Document background
The Consultant Offer Letter is a crucial document used when organizations in Singapore seek to formally engage independent consultants for specific projects or expertise. This document serves as the primary agreement defining the consulting relationship, distinguishing it from employment arrangements under Singapore law. It typically includes essential terms such as scope of work, payment terms, confidentiality obligations, and intellectual property rights. The letter must comply with Singapore's regulatory framework, including considerations under the Employment Act, Income Tax Act, and Personal Data Protection Act. This document is particularly important for establishing clear bouNDAries in professional relationships and protecting both parties' interests.
