In your technical, information technology, or scientific staffing business, do you feel pressured to accept clients’ contracts? Are your clients asking to be indemnified against various types of liability? To help ASA members and their attorneys deal with these and other issues, ASA has developed suggested contract language that spells out the staffing firm’s and the client’s responsibilities.

Six templates are available for various types of technical, IT, and scientific staffing:

• Supplying technical services on a time and materials basis on the service company’s premises
  
• Supplying technical services on a time and materials basis on the client’s premises
  
• Supplying technical temporary personnel
  
• Outsourcing
  
• Supplying independent contractors
  
• General employment

The materials are available to ASA members at americanstaffing.net. The model contracts for technical, IT, and scientific staffing provide suggested language but are not intended as legal advice.
