Q. Should I require all of my employees to sign a written employment agreement?

A. A written employment agreement sets out clearly what the relationship is between the parties, what is expected of the employee, what the employer's obligations are, and what the consequences will be if the employee fails to perform his or her job duties. It is always a good idea to have a written agreement, and in some countries, such as New Zealand, it is required by law.

Q. If I hire independent contractors instead of employees, it will reduce the costs of payroll deductions and benefits.

A. Yes, there are some economic advantages in hiring independent contractors, but there are also some disadvantages. It's much easier to garner a sense of loyalty and commitment with employees than with independent contractors. There is also better continuity in work flow if the same people are working on the same tasks regularly.

There are also stringent legal requirements covering the determination of whether a person's role is actually that of an independent contractor or an employee. Any misclassification could mean that the employer is on the hook for taxes, payroll deductions, interest and additional penalties.
