As NCS’s we need to protect ourselves whether you’re on a short term job or are looking to secure future positions. Not only is this contract beneficial to us but it also leaves the client with a heightened sense of confidence that you are professional and dependable.

"I bought that one and I love it, though I didn’t ask anyone beforehand where they got their contracts. It seems like a lot of people write their own, but I wasn’t sure what to put in it, so I didn’t want to do that. Nancy can edit it if there’s anything you want to change, too." Ashlyn Timothy
