A
freelancer,
freelance worker, or
freelance is
somebody who is self-employed and is not committed to a particular employer
long term. These workers are sometimes represented by a company or an agency
that resells their labor and that of others to its clients with or without
project management and labor contributed by its regular employees. Others are
completely independent. "Independent contractor" would be the term
used in a higher register of English.
Freelance practice varies greatly. Some require clients to sign written contracts,
while others may perform work based on verbal agreements, perhaps enforceable
through the very nature of the work. Some freelancers may provide written
estimates of work and request deposits from clients.
Payment for freelance work also varies greatly. Freelancers may charge by
the day, hour, a piece rate, or on a per-project basis. Instead of a flat rate
or fee, some freelancers have adopted a value-based pricing method based on the
perceived value of the results to the client. By custom, payment arrangements
may be upfront, percentage upfront, or upon completion. For more complex
projects, a contract may set a payment schedule based on milestones or
outcomes.
In writing and other artistic fields, "freelance" and its
derivative terms are often reserved for workers who create works on their own
initiative and then seek a publisher. They typically retain the copyright to
their works and sell the rights to publishers in time-limited contracts. People
who create intellectual property under a work for hire situation (according to
the publishers' or other customers' specifications) are sometimes referred to
as "independent contractors" or other similar terms. They have no
copyright to the works if they are "works made for hire," a category
of intellectual property defined in U.S. copyright law — Section 101, Copyright
Act of 1976 (17 USC §101). This is the opposite of the situation with a regular
employee; the relationship between a freelancer and a client is one between two
business equals. The protections of the intellectual property rights that
naturally vest in the creator of the work are considered to have been sold in
toto in a work for hire agreement.
