As part of the hiring process, employees and independent contractors are often required to enter into employment contracts. These contracts can contain different types of information; some are simple, and some are complex. But, in general, the contract will outline important information that pertains to a worker’s job duties, their rate of pay, their benefits, and the term of employment.
