Contract request for external consultant

Use this form if you have agreed to engage an external consultant to work with Lafiya and you've received all the necessary approvals. This form will notify the Operations team who'll generate the contract.
The information collected by this form has been kept to a minimum for ease of use. If the form asks for a piece of information, there's a good reason we need it.
If you prefer, you may send this form to the consultant for them to complete.

What is an external consultant?

An external consultant is NOT a staff member.
They're engaged temporarily and paid either a fixed amount or at a fixed rate (e.g. hourly) for a specific and close-ended scope of work.
While the engagement might be for multiple months, even over a year, there's no expectation they'll be integrated into the team and be subject to our policies. They won't be on Slack and will not have a Lafiya email address.

Things you need to have clear before completing this form:

Pay (how much, rate type and currency)
Scope of work, consultant's address, email and tax identification number
Start date and contract duration
Whether the consultant is a United States Person

This form does not collect bank account details

The consultant will be expected to submit invoices that themselves contain the bank account details into which to issue payment. Please ensure to communicate that to the consultant.
