Issuing a contract
Whether you are employed or self-employed, it is advisable to agree a formal contract with the client at the start. This reassures the client and is an essential document if there is a dispute.
It should include:
- a statement of the services required
- how many hours per week you will support the client
- the hourly rate and any other charges, such as mileage
- how payment will be made
Both the client and the personal assistant should keep a copy of the contract for their records.
The Support with Confidence scheme offers support with contract arrangements and can supply a contract template for members.
