Independent Contractor Agreement Questionnaire & Order Form: Fill & Download for Free

I usually start by discovering the project and sending to client my logo or UI design questionnaire. After receiving answers I estimate how much time the project will take and based on my hourly rate I propose a fixed price to client through modifying my proposal/project agreement template. A very important part of my terms is that I require an upfront payment (usually 50%) before starting any creative process.I hope this was helpful. :)

Where the employee of the U.S. LLC lives is one factor that helps determine whether and how the U.S. LLC needs to report him (and also be subject to withholding requirements). However, it is not the only factor, and not a determinative one in your case.If the U.S. LLC’s employee lived in the U.S., that would be determinative and the inquiry would end there - you would need to treat him like any employer is required to treat an employee in the U.S.However, since he lives outside the U.S., the factors to be considered are whether he is a U.S. citizen or green card holder, and whether he is actually an employee under relevant State laws, or merely an independent contractor.If he is a U.S. citizen or green card holder, he is obligated to file income tax returns. As a result, the U.S. LLC employer will have withholding obligations. However there are special payroll rules to allow for reductions depending on the whether there is an applicable tax treaty. There was a tax treaty signed back in 1994 between the U.S. and Ukraine that appears to still be effective, mostly dealing with eliminating double taxation. You can find it here: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-trty/ukrain.pdfIt would be beneficial if he was not an “employee” though - and often the test for whether someone is an employee or independent contractor defaults to “employee” in most U.S. states under normal circumstances. However, in your case, there is possibility that your “employee” is actually an independent contractor. Therefore, even if he is a citizen or green card holder, you may want to look at this question very carefully (or get a legal opinion about it).Wyoming, like most states, determines whether someone is an employee or independent contractor based on several factors. These factors are used to basically figure out whether your LLC controls the details of the work done and how its done, OR if you “employee” controls the details of the work done and how its done. Here is a standard form questionnaire used for Wyoming unemployment insurance benefits to assess whether someone is an employee or independent contractor: http://wyomingworkforce.org/_docs/ui/Wyoming-218-Employee-Independent-Contractor-Questionnaire.pdfIf you can, I would suggest you write up (or amend, if you already have one) an appropriate written agreement and set up the actual working relationship to comply with the requirements of your Ukrainian worker being an independent contractor. That makes it painless and easy for your LLC - and your Ukrainian worker can take care of his income tax reporting and filing himself for those jurisdiction(s) he is obligated to.

Here is my experience with RocketLawyer. I've given them two tries.When I incorporated my business with them, they signed me up for a ~$400/year plan without me realizing it. (They probably didn't mention it, as I tend to notice large fees.) At the time, I just thought, "maybe it will be worth it." About a year later, I haven't been impressed with the value add given the cost. So I didn't renew.A few weeks ago, I needed to draft some independent contractor agreements. So I signed up again. The site does "look" nice on the surface. It creates the impression that the experience will be good. In my experience, that is skin deep. Today, I pulled the plug. Again. I don't think I'll be going back. Here's why.The UI is clunky. Managing documents feels like a bad Windows program instead of a modern Web UI.Their systems have obvious problems. For example, I updated my email address, but I continued to get notifications to the old address weeks after.Content. The "document from questionnaire" idea is decent in theory -- TurboTax has it down -- but RocketLawyer hasn't gotten it quite right yet. I've seen them generate errors in the generated document. So, proofread your documents and be ready to remove "ERROR" if the numbering is incorrect. How many other incorrect clauses are generated is unclear. When I noticed a problem, I contacted customer support, hoping to see corrections right away. I didn't hear back quickly, unfortunately.If you have to modify the contract outside of the questionnaire, you can't go back to the questionnaire. As a software developer myself, I can see that this is a non-trivial problem, but I also wish they would put some effort into solving it well.Today, the login page was broken. Customer support says it was for site maintenance. I'd call that unannounced site maintenance -- right when I wanted to look over some documents. So, my conclusion is that RocketLawyer is not taking their online service very seriously -- unfortunate considering that they seem to have sizable investment and the ability to do so.Customer service, via chat, has been professional and kind. But I don't the ship is going to move much unless customers demand more. I was a squeaky wheel, I admit.I hope there are better alternatives out there. Maybe legal services are relatively overpriced and relatively underperforming in comparison to other online services. Maybe I'll be disappointed by LegalZoom or whatever else is out there. But I'm definitely going to send a signal to a $400/year service that I expect more than mediocrity.
