Answering all your questions about independent contractor agreements in Madagascar

You may have questions. We’re here to answer them. Below, you’ll learn all the extra stuff you should probably know before putting together an independent contractor agreement for Madagascar.

Why do I need an independent contractor agreement in Madagascar?

Independent contractor agreements are a roadmap of your partnership with a contractor. They typically include important details like deadlines, payment, and the work to be completed. Getting the agreed-upon terms in writing helps keep you and a contractor on the same page for the duration of your relationship.

Madagascar requires contracts to be in writing, so if you want to work with contractors there, you’ll need a written agreement. It’s the best thing for your company anyway, because written contractor agreements help protect you from potential legal trouble in the future. If there are disputes about the work you receive, the contractor’s compensation, or employee misclassification, a written agreement is great evidence to help a judge decide who is in the right. 

In the end, you’ll need to have a written independent contractor in Madagascar, but you should have one wherever you hire.

What do contractor agreements in Madagascar typically need to have?

Every contractor agreement in Madagascar (and, the rest of the world) can be broken up into two parts:

• Contract-specific variables: This includes things like scope of work, rate, and deadline. They’re the project-specific variables that you’ll include with each contract, and are totally dependent on what type of work you’re hiring a contractor to do
• ‍Everything else: Besides things like scope and deadline, every independent contractor agreement in Madagascar should follow a similar structure. If you want to grab your own contract with a compliant structure for Madagascar, sign up to Thera

What makes contractors different from employees in Madagascar?

Hiring independent contractors is usually cheaper and quicker than onboarding a new employee. There are a lot of differences between the two to consider, though, before you move forward with your first written agreement.

Here are a few of the key things that make contractors different from employees in Madagascar:

• Contractors can set their own schedules
• Contractors can work with their own software and tools 
• Contractors can work for other clients 
• Contractors rarely receive benefits, like health insurance*

It’s probably clear why we think working with independent contractors is great. Contracting allows workers to take control of their careers and pursue additional opportunities at their own discretion. This works out great for companies as well, because they can get work completed by talented workers with more flexibility than hiring a permanent employee. If this sounds right for your company, Thera can help you get started with an independent contractor agreement.
