Nevada Independent Contractor Agreement FAQ
Common questions about independent contractor agreements under Nevada law.
How does Nevada classify workers as contractors vs. employees?
Nevada primarily uses the IRS common-law test (behavioral control, financial control, type of relationship) for income tax classification. For unemployment insurance, Nevada's Employment Security Division applies a slightly different test. Nevada did not adopt California's strict ABC test, making it somewhat easier to establish contractor status.
What IP provisions should a Nevada contractor agreement include?
Include: (1) work-for-hire designation for all deliverables, (2) assignment of remaining IP rights, (3) contractor's representation that the work does not infringe third-party rights, (4) license-back for pre-existing contractor IP incorporated in deliverables, and (5) provisions addressing ownership of data and derivative works.
Does Nevada require contractors to be licensed?
Yes, for construction work. Nevada's Contractors' License Law (NRS § 624.010 et seq.) requires most contractors performing construction, remodeling, or repair work to be licensed by the Nevada State Contractors Board. Unlicensed contractors cannot collect compensation in Nevada courts for construction work.
What payment terms should a Nevada contractor agreement include?
Specify the rate (hourly, fixed-fee, or milestone), invoicing frequency, payment terms (net 15 or net 30), late payment interest, and expense reimbursement procedures. State clearly that the contractor is responsible for all self-employment taxes, workers' compensation, and health insurance.
