Hi,
I do agree with the above discussions. written agreements have advantages over oral agreement
Benefits of written agreement
1.provide proof of what was agreed between you and the hirer.
2. help to prevent misunderstandings or disputes by making the agreement clear from the outset
3. give you security and peace of mind by knowing you have work, for how long and what you will be paid
4.clarify your status as an independent contractor by stating that the contract is a ‘services contract’ and not an ’employment contract’. This will not override a ‘sham’ contract, but a court will take the statement into account if there is any uncertainty about the nature of the relationship
