The standardized service agreement to build fair and strong relationships between people and companies.
Fair and secure work relationships need a contract. Not having one is dangerous for both parties and can lead to misunderstandings, false expectations and ultimately lost time and money.
But starting new work by discussing worst case scenarios can be a tough way to kick things off. That’s why a standard is needed.
AND CO and The Freelancers Union have created a standardized service agreement to help strong, fair work relationships get off the ground quickly.
Using a standardized contract vetted by a third party eliminates back and forth, establishes trust, and speeds up the signing process.
Starting a secure work relationship becomes faster and simpler.
The Freelancers Union helped establish The Freelance Isn’t Free Act in New York City, a law that helps freelancers have more secure work relationships.
The Freelance Contract takes the law into account and directly applies its principles.
