While duration is only one factor among many that determines whether a worker is a contractor or an employee, six months is usually recommended as a safe duration and one-year should usually be considered an outside limit, assuming that the other independent contractor criteria are met.
The best way to use dates in contracts is to write out the month, preceded by a figure for the day. Use four digits when referring to specific years. Never write a date ing to either of the following structures: ..the 15th day of March 1928 (written out)
Include both the hours and the minutes (not the seconds). When writing times, prefer using a colon over a point between hours and minutes. Do not add hrs or o'clock: h. Use a.m.
Time and Hours Use digits and colons to show clock times. When describing timing of events in sentences, use the words from and to rather than a hyphen. When listing hours of availability, use the word to rather than a hyphen. When describing time durations, do not abbreviate words such as hours and minutes.
Every such contract requires: The name of the contractor, the contractor's business address and license number. The name and mailing address of the owner and the jobsite address or legal description. The date the parties entered into the contract.
If you need your independent contractor to work specific hours, it's time to consider making them an employee. One of the hallmarks of an independent contractor is that they can work at any time they choose and often have multiple clients/employers.
