International interim agreement

Create a draft agreement for a direct independent interim assignment

This international interim agreement generator helps create a draft document for a direct B2B assignment between a client organisation and an independent interim professional. It is designed for interim managers, independent consultants and self-employed specialists who want to record key commercial, legal and practical arrangements clearly.

The tool supports three agreement types: an independent interim services agreement, a Statement of Work and a retainer or ongoing services agreement. It includes country-specific framing for the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and the United Kingdom, including relevant terminology such as overeenkomst van opdracht, contract for services, Dienstvertrag, contrat de prestation de services, IR35, Scheinselbständigkeit and lien de subordination.

Important: a written agreement does not guarantee independent contractor status. The actual working relationship remains decisive. If the assignment runs through an MSP, broker, staffing agency, employer of record, umbrella company, payroll company, Arbeitnehmerüberlassung, société de portage or similar third party, use that party’s own contractual framework.

Agreement type

Three agreement types for independent interim work

Agreement type	When to use	Main points to define
Independent interim services agreement	For interim management, consultancy, project management or specialist services where professional autonomy is central.	Scope, independent performance, absence of employee-like control, fees, expenses, substitution or delegation, confidentiality and practical execution.
Statement of Work	For project-based assignments with a clear scope, deliverables, milestones, acceptance criteria and change control.	Deliverables, acceptance criteria, dependencies, timeline, out-of-scope work and additional services.
Retainer or ongoing services agreement	For periodic availability, advisory services, governance, support, reviews, reporting or recurring specialist services.	Availability, included services, response time, out-of-scope requests, recurring fees and termination arrangements.

The generator also includes an independent contractor practice check. This is not a legal opinion, but it helps identify signals that may point to employment, false self-employment, dependent work, worker status or insufficiently independent execution.

Online tool

International interim agreement generator

Create a draft agreement for a direct B2B interim assignment between a client organisation and an independent professional. Select the primary country context, then choose between an independent interim services agreement, a Statement of Work or a retainer for ongoing services.

Not intended for contractual chains: if the assignment runs through an MSP, broker, staffing agency, employer of record, umbrella company, payroll company, Arbeitnehmerüberlassung, société de portage, detachment structure or similar third party, use that party’s contractual framework. Planet Interim has no contractual role in those arrangements.

Important: this tool does not provide legal, tax or social security advice. The actual working relationship remains decisive. Planet Interim is not a party to the agreement and does not store the information entered.

Step 1

Choose country context and agreement type

Select the country context that should primarily guide the agreement. The generated text will adapt terminology, warnings and legal framing to that country.

Primary country context

Choose the country where the client is established or where the assignment is mainly performed. For cross-border situations, local review is recommended.

For the Netherlands, focus on avoiding employer authority, employee-like embedding and a working practice that resembles employment. The actual execution remains decisive.

Select the type of agreement:

Independent interim services agreement For independent interim management, consultancy, project management or specialist work where professional autonomy is central. Statement of Work For project-based assignments with a clear scope, deliverables, milestones, acceptance criteria, dependencies and change control. Retainer or ongoing services agreement For periodic availability, advisory work, governance, support, reviews, reporting or recurring specialist services.

Step 4

Independent contractor practice check

This check uses key classification indicators relevant across the selected jurisdictions, including control, subordination, integration, personal service, autonomy, entrepreneurial risk and actual performance.

Does the client give operational instructions similar to those given to employees?

Does the contractor effectively fill a structural internal role?

Is the contractor strongly integrated into the client’s team, line organisation, hierarchy or internal processes?

Is personal service required without a realistic right of substitution, delegation or use of suitable third parties?

Are working hours, leave, attendance and daily planning handled like those of employees?

Can the contractor mainly organise their own work, time and method?

Are there signs of genuine business activity, such as multiple clients, own acquisition, own tools, liability or financial risk?

Is the contractor managed, rated, allocated work or monitored by automated or algorithmic systems?

Additional arrangements

Practical note

This generator is intended for direct B2B arrangements between a client organisation and an independent professional. For MSP, broker, staffing, EOR, payroll, umbrella, detachment or similar structures, use the relevant third party’s contractual framework.

Cross-border interim assignments can trigger local labour law, tax, social security, immigration, permanent establishment, posted worker and data protection questions. Use this output as a structured starting point and obtain local advice where needed.

Practical explanation

When should you use this generator?

Use this generator when a client organisation and an independent interim professional want to record a direct B2B assignment. This may include interim management, advisory work, project management, specialist consultancy, recurring support or a clearly scoped project assignment.

Do not use this generator where the assignment is arranged through an MSP, broker, staffing agency, umbrella company, payroll company, employer of record, Arbeitnehmerüberlassung, société de portage or similar third party. In those situations, the contractual chain, master services agreement, staffing terms or employment structure will usually determine the applicable documentation.

Cross-border note: interim assignments across jurisdictions can trigger local employment, tax, social security, posted worker, immigration, VAT, permanent establishment and data protection issues. This generator provides a structured starting point, not country-specific legal certainty.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about interim agreements

What is the international interim agreement generator for?

The generator is intended for direct B2B arrangements between a client organisation and an independent interim professional. It can generate a draft independent interim services agreement, Statement of Work or retainer agreement.

Can this generator be used for the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and the United Kingdom?

Yes. The generator allows the user to select the primary country context and adapts terminology, warnings and contract wording to the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France or the United Kingdom.

Does this agreement guarantee independent contractor status?

No. A written agreement helps record the parties’ intentions and practical arrangements, but the actual working relationship remains decisive. If the parties work in practice as if there is an employment relationship, the agreement cannot remove that risk.

What is the difference between an independent interim services agreement and a Statement of Work?

An independent interim services agreement is useful for interim management, consultancy or specialist services where professional autonomy is central. A Statement of Work is better suited for project-based assignments with defined scope, deliverables, milestones, acceptance criteria and change control.

When should I use a retainer agreement?

A retainer or ongoing services agreement is useful for periodic availability, advisory services, governance, support, reviews, reporting or recurring specialist services.

Can I use this generator for MSP, broker, staffing, umbrella, payroll or EOR arrangements?

Usually not. If the assignment runs through an MSP, broker, staffing agency, employer of record, umbrella company, payroll company, detachment structure or similar third party, that party’s own contractual framework should normally be used.

Are my details stored by Planet Interim?

No. The generator runs in the browser and Planet Interim does not store the information entered.

Can I save the generated agreement as Word or PDF?

Yes. After generating the draft agreement, the text can be copied, printed, saved as PDF or downloaded as a Word file.
