Hi Wim,
    I was really referring to contracts for those who are =B3non-employee=B2
cauts, who may simply work on a =B3per service=B2 basis, or possibly on a =B3per
hour=B2 basis. This is by far the largest number of cauts. In general, many i=
f
not most would be better served if there were a written contract setting ou=
t
various things, from financial terms to liability issues. Guidance on these
matters would be most welcome.
    I think the number of employed cauts who have or ought to have a
contract is pretty small, probably insignificant. Most are covered by
personnel policies which are standard within their institution. Now, a look
at what those are, how you might want to research them, might be helpful.
