Small business owners often face uncertainty when navigating new regulations. Senate Bill 988 (SB 988) has brought questions about contract requirements for one-off services like moving furniture or heavy equipment. In this blog, we explore how SB 988 applies to your business and clarify when written contracts are necessary.
SB 988 and Small Businesses: Do You Need a Written Contract for One-Off Projects?
What is SB 988 and How Does It Impact Small Businesses?
SB 988 is designed to ensure transparency and accountability in independent contractor agreements. If you're paying $250 or more for a one-time service, having a written contract is crucial for compliance.
Do Movers or One-Time Services Require Contracts?
According to legal experts, professional movers like United Van Lines should always provide a written contract specifying payment terms. However, informal arrangements, like hiring students for a small move, may not attract strict enforcement, though technically still falling under SB 988.
Key Takeaway for Small Business Owners
Whenever you hire independent contractors, ensure that the scope of work and payment terms are documented. While SB 988 enforcement may vary depending on the situation, having a contract protects both parties and ensures compliance.
