Contracts and Agreements
After you have selected a writer and set a start date, you will need to sign a contract either with the Staffing Firm or directly with the writer.
What Should the Contract Include
Hourly Rate
Payment Terms
Confidentiality Protections
Insurance Requirements
Non-Disclosure Information
Job Deliverable expectations
Timesheet expectations
If you are working with a Staffing Agency/Third Party, your company may require the writer to sign his/her own NDA. Also, alert your company's Accounts Payable department to ensure it is prepared to handle the invoices in a timely manner. This may require PO approval and sharing the Account Payable information with the Staffing Agency for seamless invoicing.
