The complete guide to contracting jobs
The main difference between an employee, who is hired permanently, and an independent contractor is the nature of the contract.
In a Contract of Service, an employee promises to provide services to an employer in exchange for payment, rather than agreeing to perform specific duties for a set period of time.
To put it slightly different, a contract with an independent contractor is usually a contract in which the contractor agrees to do a specific service or task and is paid when the service or task is done or when the agreed-upon result is produced.
We’ve compiled the ultimate guide to contractor jobs in South Africa.
What does a contracting job entail?
An Independent Contractor is not subject to the control or direction of the organisation, corporation, or individual who would be considered his, her, or its client. This means that an Independent Contractor is not subject to the terms of the employment agreement. The Independent Contractor is, in essence, performing the service as part of his or hers own firm.

If a contractor is looking for their first contract or looking for fresh contract employment, taking a targeted approach to obtaining contractor jobs can increase their odds of success, decrease their unpaid time between contracts, and increase their rates.

As you are keeping records of all aaplications it will be a good idea to follow up on them by calling the designated person at the recruitment agency or at the company.
