Service Contract - Self-Employed Worker
Tool #544
The "Service Contract - Self-Employment Worker" tool is a template for creating a contract between a self-employed person hired for a creative project and a producer, an artistic company or an independent artist.
Please note that it should not be confused with hiring an employee and that there are several ways to write an employment contract. Thus, you will have to adapt it to each situation and, if necessary, integrate the applicable provisions of the Act respecting the professional status of artists in the visual arts and crafts and literature, and their contracts with promoters (RLRQ, S-32.01). Once signed, the contract will govern the contractual relationship between the persons who have entered into it. It is therefore your responsibility to ensure that the contract reflects the agreement reached. In this regard, it is recommended that you consult a legal advisor who is a member of the Quebec Bar.
