Answering all your questions about independent contractor agreements in Estonia
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 Estonia.
Why do I need an independent contractor agreement in Estonia?
Starting a new remote business relationship can be overwhelming, and you may skip some steps along the way—but having an independent contractor agreement shouldn’t be one of them. Think of it this way: without it, you don’t have the details of the project in formal writing. Without a contract, finding yourself in the middle of legal issues is not uncommon—and it’s usually due to miscommunication.
Signing an agreement and holding on to your end of the bargain could be a lifesaver in your relationship with your Estonian talent. Take that one extra step, and then you’ll be able to set your mind on doing great work.
What do contractor agreements in Estonia typically need to have?
Every contractor agreement in Estonia (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 Estonia should follow a similar structure. If you want to grab your own contract with a compliant structure for Estonia, sign up to Thera
What makes contractors different from employees in Estonia?
Hiring in Estonia can be a bit confusing if you're not sure whether you should bring on a contractor or an employee. Now, if you're hiring from abroad, bringing on an employee can be a real headache. So, a lot of people just go with contractors instead. Contracting is typically a lot more flexible, easier on the budget, and you can get started on the work right away. Just keep in mind that each option has its pros and cons, and it's up to you to decide which is the best fit for your needs!
Here are a few of the key things that make contractors different from employees in Estonia:
- 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*
*With Thera, you can get your contractors access to sign up for premium global health insurance, from SafetyWing, at a 50% discount.
