Answering all your questions about independent contractor agreements in Ethiopia

You may have questions. We’re here to answer them. Below, you’ll learn all the extra stuff you should probably know before putting together an independent contractor agreement for Ethiopia.

Why do I need an independent contractor agreement in Ethiopia?

Independent contractor agreements are a record of the terms of your relationship with a contractor. They typically outline the work a contractor must complete, deadlines, and compensation. Because these arrangements are governed by civil law instead of labor laws, a written contract is the most reliable way to establish a legal relationship between you and a contractor and hold you accountable to each other. 

The Ethiopian civil code clearly defines an independent contractor as a worker who undertakes tasks for an employer without becoming subordinate to them. The major component of deciding whether a contractor has been misclassified is an assessment of their independence. 

Ethiopian law states that contractors must have the freedom to complete their work as they choose without having to comply with orders from the client beyond what was initially agreed. Ensuring your partnership with a contractor is consistent with the guidelines in the civil code can help protect your company from misclassification risks.

So why do you need an independent contractor agreement? To protect your company legally and financially. Investing in a strong agreement upfront can save you money and a headache in the future.

What do contractor agreements in Ethiopia typically need to have?

Every contractor agreement in Ethiopia (and, the rest of the world) can be broken up into two parts:

  • Contract-specific variables: This includes things like scope of work, rate, and deadline. They’re the project-specific variables that you’ll include with each contract, and are totally dependent on what type of work you’re hiring a contractor to do.
  • ‍Everything else: Besides things like scope and deadline, every independent contractor agreement in Ethiopia should follow a similar structure. If you want to grab your own contract with a compliant structure for Ethiopia, sign up to Panther for $0.
What makes contractors different from employees in Ethiopia?

In most cases, hiring contractors will save your company time and money compared to hiring employees. The ease of hiring does not paint a full picture of the differences between employees and contractors, though. Unlike employees, contractors maintain a legally self-employed status, making their freedoms different from an average employee's.

Here are a few of the key things that make contractors different from employees in Ethiopia:

  • Contractors can set their own schedules
  • Contractors can work with their own software and tools 
  • Contractors can work for other clients 
  • Contractors rarely receive benefits, like health insurance*

If you’ve read this far, it’s probably clear why so many professionals are drawn to contracting. The ability to take on work that is consistent with their interests while setting their own schedules is evidence of the additional autonomy contractors enjoy compared to employees. For companies, this means working with talented individuals who share your vision without the additional responsibility of hiring a new employee. If this is right for your company, Panther can help you get started with an independent contractor agreement.

*With Panther, you can get your contractors access to sign up for premium global health insurance, from SafetyWing, at a 50% discount.
