FAQ

Here's a general overview of what contract labor looks like: The worker creates their own invoice. The worker is in control of the hours they work. The worker typically uses their own tools. Your company can let the worker go from the position at any time, as long as it doesn't break the contract.

A contract is an agreement between parties, creating mutual obligations that are enforceable by law. The basic elements required for the agreement to be a legally enforceable contract are: mutual assent, expressed by a valid offer and acceptance; adequate consideration; capacity; and legality.

A legally binding contract involves: An offer by one party to the other; A “meeting of the minds”; Both parties exchange lawful consideration; and. Each party accepts the offer. The employment relationship is governed by an Employee Handbook that spells out the parties' respective rights and obligations.

A contract is defined as an enforceable agreement between two parties. An employment contract is an enforceable agreement between two parties that contains whatever terms and conditions of employment the parties agree upon and, when accepted, becomes controlling upon the employment relationship.

Employers in New York State must provide certain employees with at least 24 consecutive hours of rest in any calendar week. This is referred to as a day of rest, and the Guidelines (below) provide more specific details. Employers may apply for a variance from the day of rest requirement.
