Must state minimum notice periods and statutory leave entitlements applicable in the jurisdiction. By contrast: Must clearly distinguish the worker as an independent contractor rather than an employee to avoid misclassification. Typical legal fees for drafting or reviewing either document in this jurisdiction run BDT 5,000–15,000/hr — as with any fee estimate, confirm current rates with a local practitioner.
