Sample Work Agreements

Good communication is at the heart of any working relationship. A written work agreement is key to achieving that— ensuring that you and the person you employ have a shared understanding of the job. In places like New Jersey, Philadelphia, Massachusetts and Washington D.C. work agreements are also required under the law. For you, it’s a great opportunity to be clear about your needs and expectations. For the worker, it provides clarity of their job duties, fosters stability, and builds trust.
