Independent Contractor Agreements in Florida
Florida independent contractor agreements are governed by Chapter 440 of the Florida Statutes. Florida applies the common law right-to-control test, with a heavy emphasis on workers' compensation laws.
Under Fla. Stat. § 440.02, independent contractors in non-construction industries are exempt from workers' compensation coverage, but they must meet specific independent business criteria to avoid being classified as employees in a state audit.
