A.Dear Client,
There is no specific legislation to regulate the hiring of full-time Freelancers. However, freelancers are labourers, even though they don’t work full-time but on a contractual basis. Accordingly, the provision of the Contract and Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and Intellectual property Laws amongst others are applicable to freelancers if hired by the Company in addition to their full-time jobs. But before hiring freelancers you should check with your prospective employees to ensure that this is allowed under the existing contract that governs their terms of employment with other entrepreneurs/Companies to avoid any conflict or consequences. Any Hire is a specialized self-service platform within Upwork that helps you hire and onboard employees from around the world as either independent contractors or full-time, permanent employees. With Any Hire, you can process payments, manage contracts, and view reports all in one convenient location. You can also request worker classification assistance if needed.

A.Dear client
Companies can hire individuals on a contractual basis for specific projects or periods. These contracts may specify the terms and conditions of employment, including the duration of the contract, scope of work, and remuneration. The terms of the contract should be clearly defined, including the nature of the work, the duration of the contract, payment terms, and any other relevant conditions. This helps in avoiding misunderstandings and legal issues later. Even though the individuals may not be full-time employees, it's essential to ensure compliance with relevant labor laws. This includes adhering to minimum wage requirements, working hours, and other applicable regulations. Both the employer and the individual hired on a contractual basis need to consider tax implications. Tax regulations may vary based on the nature of the work and the duration of the engagement.
