Document background
The Self Employed Employment Contract is designed for use in the Philippine business environment where companies engage independent professionals for specific services or projects. This document is essential when businesses need to formalize relationships with contractors while clearly distinguishing them from regular employees under Philippine labor law. The contract addresses key requirements under Philippine legislation, including the Civil Code, National Internal Revenue Code, and Social Security Law, while incorporating provisions for tax compliance, social security contributions, and professional insurance. It's particularly relevant in today's growing gig economy and remote work environment, where businesses increasingly rely on flexible, project-based professional relationships. The document should be used when engaging contractors for specific projects, consulting work, or ongoing professional services where maintaining clear independent contractor status is crucial.
