BTN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR & PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS AGREEMENT

SECTION A — INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS
1. I am an independent contractor, not an employee of Boston Tech Net A/V Solutions (BTN).
2. I am responsible for my own federal, state, and local taxes including self-employment taxes.
3. BTN will issue a Form 1099-NEC for payments of $600 or more in a calendar year.
4. I am not entitled to employee benefits including health insurance, workers compensation, unemployment insurance, or paid time off.
5. I will maintain my own tools, equipment, and professional certifications as required.
6. BTN reserves the right to terminate this agreement at any time without notice or penalty.

SECTION B — DRESS CODE (MANDATORY — NON-NEGOTIABLE)
All BTN technicians must arrive to every job in the following attire. No exceptions.

✅ Plain black button-up shirt OR plain black polo / collared shirt — no logos, graphics, or patterns
✅ Black pants — clean, professional fit
✅ Black footwear — closed-toe, clean

❌ No hats of any kind on shift
❌ No durags on shift
❌ No athletic wear, hoodies, or casual streetwear
❌ No excessive jewelry that may interfere with work

DRESS CODE VIOLATION POLICY: Any technician found in violation of the dress code upon arrival may be sent home without pay at BTN admin's discretion. The client booking will not be affected — BTN will source a replacement. The violation will be logged in your profile.

SECTION C — CONDUCT & SUBSTANCE POLICY
BTN technicians represent the company in front of clients at all times. The following are grounds for immediate removal from a job site and potential permanent removal from the BTN roster:

❌ Arriving to a job smelling of marijuana, alcohol, or any substance that may alter your ability to perform — this is a client-facing professional environment. Non-negotiable regardless of legal status in your state.
❌ Arriving under the influence of any substance — including but not limited to marijuana, alcohol, prescription medication taken outside prescribed use, or any other drug that impairs judgment, reaction time, coordination, or professional conduct.
❌ Unprofessional conduct toward clients, venue staff, or fellow technicians
❌ Use of personal devices during show-critical moments without authorization

Removal for conduct violations is without pay for the day.
A second conduct violation results in permanent removal from the BTN roster.

SECTION D — RECOMMENDED PERSONAL GEAR
While not mandatory, BTN strongly recommends every technician carry the following on every call:

🔧 Crescent wrench (adjustable) — for hardware, rigging, and general setup
🛠️ Multi-tool (Leatherman or equivalent) — pliers, blade, screwdrivers
🧤 Grip safety gloves — for load-in, load-out, rigging, and cable pulling

Technicians who consistently arrive prepared with personal tools demonstrate the professionalism BTN clients expect and will be prioritized on future bookings.

SECTION E — ATTENDANCE & RELIABILITY
6. I agree to the 3-strike policy: Three documented no-call/no-shows result in permanent removal from the BTN roster with no recourse.
7. I will notify BTN admin as early as possible if I cannot make a confirmed booking. A no-call/no-show is the most serious violation in this business.

SECTION F — NON-SOLICITATION
8. I agree not to solicit or accept direct employment from BTN clients for 2 years from my last BTN assignment. Violation subjects me to the buy-out clause in any active BTN contract and potential legal action.

By typing your name and checking all boxes above, you agree this constitutes a legally binding electronic signature confirming you have read, understood, and will comply with all BTN professional standards and contractor terms.
