As previously reported in our Client Alert, “NYC Says Put It in Writing for Freelancers, Stop Asking Job Candidates their Prior Salaries,” the Act requires any person or entity hiring an individual independent contractor to perform work in New York City, whether or not doing business under a corporate name, to put the terms of the independent contractor relationship in writing if the contractor will be paid $800 or more pursuant to that individual agreement, or if the contractor will have been paid at least $800 during the immediately preceding six months by the same hiring party. The Freelance Isn’t Free Act is a recent New York City law that went into effect on May 15, 2017.
