Important: This is a template-based document preparation service, not legal advice or attorney drafting. A contractor agreement can document the parties’ intent, but it does not decide worker classification. For high-value, long-term, regulated, or employee-like engagements, consult a Wisconsin employment attorney.

Classification frameworks: Wisconsin DWD worker classification · Wis. Stat. § 102.07(8) nine-part test · Wis. Stat. § 108.02(12) UI classification · IRS common-law rules

Why your Wisconsin LLC needs a contractor agreement

A handshake email and a Venmo payment will not survive contact with the IRS, the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, or a contractor dispute. A short written agreement defines the scope, payment, intellectual property, confidentiality, term, and termination before any work starts. It also documents the parties’ understanding that the worker is a contractor, not an employee — supporting evidence (though not a determination) in a classification analysis. See our full guide to what every Wisconsin contractor agreement should include.

What’s included

Parties and addresses — your Wisconsin LLC and the contractor (or their entity)
Scope of work — specific deliverables and what is out of scope
Term — start date, end date, project- or ongoing-based
Payment terms — rate, schedule, invoicing, and payment window
Expenses — who pays for materials, travel, and subcontractors
Intellectual property — assignment of work product to your LLC on payment, plus background-IP language
Confidentiality — scope, duration, and return of materials on termination
Independent contractor status — the parties’ classification intent, plus a disclaimer that the contract is supporting evidence and not a determination
Insurance — optional language requiring general liability and worker’s compensation coverage
Termination, indemnification, and limitation of liability
Wisconsin governing law and venue
Signature blocks — dated, ready to sign

What’s NOT included

Legal review or legal advice. Wi Filings is a filing service, not a law firm.
Worker-classification determination. The agreement is supporting evidence of intent, but it does not determine whether a worker is legally an employee or a contractor under Wisconsin or federal frameworks.
Filing with any government agency. Contractor agreements are private contracts; they are not filed with the Wisconsin DFI, DOR, or DWD.
Tax advice. Talk with a Wisconsin CPA or payroll professional for specific tax questions.

Is this the right fit?

Need	Best Fit
Simple project with clear scope	Wi Filings contractor agreement — $49
High-dollar or complex engagement	Attorney-drafted agreement
Unsure if worker is contractor or employee	Wisconsin employment attorney or payroll professional
Need payroll setup for a W-2 employee	Payroll provider / CPA

When this is not enough. Use an attorney-drafted agreement for high-value, long-term, regulated, or employee-like engagements; for proprietary IP central to your business; for relationships with access to customer data; or whenever the relationship looks borderline between employee and contractor under Wisconsin or federal frameworks.

Common questions

Is a written independent contractor agreement required in Wisconsin?

No, but every Wisconsin LLC owner should use one. A short written contract clarifies scope, payment, intellectual property, and termination before disputes can happen, and provides supporting evidence of intent to engage a contractor rather than an employee.

Does signing a contractor agreement settle the classification question?

No. Classification depends on the facts of the working relationship under multiple Wisconsin and federal frameworks. A contractor agreement is supporting evidence of intent, not a determination.

What does the $49 include?

A Wisconsin-aware template-based independent contractor agreement, customized to your LLC, the contractor’s information, the scope of work, payment terms, IP assignment, confidentiality, and Wisconsin governing law. Delivered as a professionally formatted PDF within 24 hours.

Is legal review included?

No. Wi Filings is a business filing service, not a law firm. For complex or high-value engagements, talk with a Wisconsin employment attorney before signing.

Can I use this agreement for multiple contractors?

Each $49 order produces one customized agreement. If you need agreements for several contractors, order one per engagement so the names, scope, and terms are accurate.
