Usually a genuine contractor needs an appropriate services agreement rather than an employment contract. The correct document depends on the real control, personal service, financial risk and working arrangements, not the chosen label.
Use it only where the trainer is being employed: for example, the business controls the role and working arrangement and provides employee rights and payroll treatment consistent with employment.
No; the contract must reflect the real relationship.
State source, records and post-engagement boundaries.
Define legitimate conflict and facility restrictions.
Record payment, refund and commission arrangements.
Specify suitable current cover.
