Secretary or administrative assistant

About this document

This document is suitable for both:

• Individual self employed admin assistants, typists, personal assistants, executive secretaries, executive assistants, clerical assistants, receptionists providing clerical services from a remote setting or on-premises who will present the document to the client as “my contract”.  and
• Any business that requires admin, reception or clerical assistance. In this case, it provides the essential starting point for the relationship.

The contract emphasises the contractor’s self employed status.

If you are a business employing admin staff specifically to contract them out, you will need both contracts of employment between yourself and your employees as well as an agreement for your contracting company, that is, between you and the client, all of which can be found on the Net Lawman website. Note, this document is for a sole trader.
