• The independent contractor is responsible for remitting his/her own income tax, payroll deductions, HST, and other taxes and remittances.

• The contractor will pay all of his/her own expenses, including transportation and meal expenses.
• The contractor bears his/her own risk of profit and loss with respect to the services performed.
• The contractor agrees not to disclose or use any confidential information of the employer.
• The file includes a Business Protection Agreement with nondisclosure, non-competition and non-solicitation clauses, to be signed by the contractor prior to commencing work.
