Document background
The Self Employed Agreement is essential for businesses in Singapore engaging independent contractors, freelancers, or consultants. It provides a comprehensive framework that clearly establishes the contractor's self-employed status, protecting both parties from potential misclassification issues. This document includes crucial elements such as service scope, payment terms, intellectual property rights, and compliance with Singapore's regulatory requirements, including CPF contributions and tax obligations. It's particularly relevant in today's gig economy where flexible working arrangements are increasingly common.
