As mandated by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs, covered New York City hiring parties engaging freelance workers should use the New York City Freelance Work Agreement.
An employer may use this form agreement to protect against the dissemination of trade secrets and other employer property. This form should be used when an employee is initially hired within an organization, and steps should be taken to ensure that new and existing employees understand their responsibilities to maintain the confidentiality of the employer's business information.
This checklist may be used when sending an employee to work abroad to ensure that all issues are considered and decided prior to finalizing the international assignment.
