    Need contract for independent contractor

    We're planning to hire someone to sell advertising space on our site. We want to hire the person as an 'independent contractor', not as an employee.

    Does anyone know where I can find this type of contract (besides going to a lawyer)?

    Thank you.

    There's a number of sites that give away or sell baes templates you can use. Some help you customize with a series of questions while others just highlight areas for you to change.

    Start with a google search "independent contractor agreement"

    Assuming that you are not intending to use a lawyer for this (though I know my prices are pretty darn reasonable), please make sure you do a little research into what is required of an independent contractor agreement. There are factors that are weighed when a court is deciding whether someone is an employee or an independent contractor. Getting those wrong in your initial contract could end up being very expensive in the end...
