Why do I need an independent contractor agreement in Sri Lanka?

Creating an independent contract with your talent helps to avoid any misunderstandings or conflicts that may arise during the project.

• 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.

What makes contractors different from employees in Sri Lanka?

So you found someone who seems great for the position in Sri Lanka and you're not sure whether to go with a contractor or an employee? Yeah, we get it. It can be a tough decision. A lot of people choose contractors when they're hiring abroad because it's usually faster and more efficient. Plus, the whole process turns out to be a lot cheaper when you exclude all the legal fees you’d have to pay before your employee even starts working.

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

• 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*

*With Thera, you can get your contractors access to sign up for premium global health insurance, from SafetyWing, at a 50% discount.
