Consultative Partnering With Transition Management Consulting
Contracting Guidelines
Employment & contracting relationships have legal definitions that separate them. For Transition Management & its partners, the following points clarify contracting agreements:
- Project assignments are made based on contractor skills & project needs. Some are on tight timelines; others are large projects that provide a flexible schedule for investment of your hours & skills over a period of weeks or months.
- Contractors work on a project-by-project basis, with no guarantee of assignments, number of assignments, hours, or ongoing work.
- Contractor capacity for hours required on a project is established prior to assignment & held as a ‘term of agreement’.
- Contractor ability to meet specified deadlines (milestones as well as project completion) is also a ‘term of agreement’ for each project.
- Contractor choice to accept assignments or decline them is respected: contractors are partners, not paid staff whose choices are directed by Transition Management project managers.
- Contractors set their own hours & work sites but agree to meet the client needs during a project. Therefore, contractors must be available for face-to-face meetings, virtual meetings, & conversations/conferences using telephony, Internet, & video.
