Answering all your questions about independent contractor agreements in Afghanistan
You probably have questions. We’re here to answer them. Below, you’ll learn all the extra stuff you should probably know before putting together an independent contractor agreement for Afghanistan.
Why do I need an independent contractor agreement in Afghanistan?
An independent contractor agreement is the legal document that outlines the terms of your working relationship with a contractor. It’s important: Without an independent contractor agreement, crucial details like payment, scope, and deadlines can get muddled—with no strong legal foundation.
Although it’s relatively common for companies to hire contractors with no formal agreement, this isn’t good practice—it can lead to serious legal problems down the road. Plus, it means that your working relationship with your contractors is not defined. That doesn’t help anyone.
So… Yes, if you’re hiring contractors, you should be using independent contractor agreements. In Afghanistan, yes, and everywhere else you hire.
What do contractor agreements in Afghanistan typically need to have?
Every contractor agreement in Afghanistan (and, the rest of the world) can be broken up into two parts:
- Contract-specific variables: This includes things like scope of work, rate, and deadline. They’re the project-specific variables that you’ll include with each contract, and are totally dependent on what type of work you’re hiring a contractor to do.
- Everything else: Besides things like scope and deadline, every independent contractor agreement in Afghanistan should follow a similar structure. If you want to grab your own contract with a compliant structure for Afghanistan, sign up to Thera
What makes contractors different from employees in Afghanistan?
You might’ve asked yourself whether the person you want to hire in Afghanistan should be hired as a contractor or an employee. It’s a good question: Hiring contractors abroad is significantly faster, cheaper, and more flexible than hiring employees. But, contractors and employees aren’t the same thing.
Here are a few of the key things that make contractors different from employees in Afghanistan:
- Contractors can set their own schedules
- Contractors can work with their own software and tools
- Contractors can work for other clients
- Contractors rarely receive benefits, like health insurance*
The word to remember with contractors is autonomy. As a general rule, contractors can get their work done where they want, when they want, and how they want. You can’t order them to sign up for time-tracking software and work 9 to 5. But, if you’re a high-performing remote team, there’s a good chance you wouldn’t do that, anyway.
*With Thera, you can get your contractors access to sign up for premium global health insurance, from SafetyWing, at a 50% discount.
