Who does this work for?
This is the perfect fit for anyone working as a virtual assistant. The template has you covered and will set clear expectations and responsibilities. It’s also an ideal fit for businesses that want to hire a Virtual Assistant to help in their business.
Are you thinking that you might just use the contract that you got from Google?
Au contraire! Attorney drafted contracts are a must-have for smart and serious business owners. A solid, carefully written Virtual Assistant Services contract anticipates potential issues and solves them in advance. Your agreement can actually de-escalate problems before they occur because it ensures that both parties are on the same page. You’re a smart cookie, make it clear everyone.
What’s included? What legal terms should be in a Virtual Assistant Services Contract?
A virtual assistant services agreement should set out the terms of your relationship. It should be comprehensive and include everything from who the agreement is between (the all-star assistant and the fantastic company!) to how you expect to communicate (set those healthy boundaries) and what happens if either of you decides that it just isn’t a good fit (you can’t be everything for everyone, right?). A well-written, high-quality contract (like this one!) lets everyone know that you take this seriously and so should they. This helps you get paid and gives you the power to enforce your terms. Plus it protects the other party too.
