This Independent Employment Agreement is designed for use in Malaysia when engaging independent contractors for professional services. It serves as a crucial legal framework that clearly distinguishes the relationship from traditional employment, addressing potential misclassification risks under Malaysian law. The agreement is particularly relevant in today's gig economy and flexible workforce environment, where companies increasingly rely on independent contractors for specialized skills and project-based work. It includes essential provisions required by Malaysian legislation, including the Contracts Act 1950 and relevant tax laws, while covering critical aspects such as scope of services, payment terms, intellectual property rights, and confidentiality. This document helps both parties understand their rights, obligations, and the independent nature of their professional relationship.
