What is a subcontractor agreement?
A subcontractor agreement is a contract between a contractor and a subcontractor hired to perform part of a larger job. It defines the scope of work, payment, timeline, and responsibilities, clarifying the relationship and protecting both sides on construction and service projects where work is delegated.
What should a subcontractor agreement include?
It should describe the scope of work, payment amount and schedule, project timeline, and quality standards. It also commonly addresses insurance, licensing, liability and indemnification, change orders, dispute resolution, and termination, so both the contractor and subcontractor understand their obligations before work begins.
How is a subcontractor agreement different from an employment contract?
A subcontractor agreement engages an independent business or worker for a specific job, leaving them to control how the work is done. An employment contract creates an employee relationship with more control, benefits, and tax withholding. The distinction affects taxes, liability, and legal obligations significantly.
