Document background
The Self Employed Agreement is essential for businesses operating in the UAE who engage independent contractors, consultants, or freelance professionals. This document is crucial in the UAE business environment where clear distinction between employment and contractor relationships is necessary for regulatory compliance. The agreement addresses key aspects required under UAE law, including commercial licensing requirements, scope of services, payment terms, and operational independence of the contractor. It's particularly relevant given the UAE's growing gig economy and the increasing number of professionals operating under freelance and independent contractor arrangements, especially in free zones. The document ensures both parties understand their rights, obligations, and the commercial nature of their relationship, while maintaining compliance with UAE commercial law and relevant regulatory requirements.
