Statewide Virtual Meeting Tue Jan 16th: Contractor Hiring and Agreements
.
We'll have a discussion about hiring independent contractors using our independent contractor services agreement. Our focus will be on smaller contractors who don't come with their own agreement, or whose agreements are inadequate. We will cover:
- When to work to a handshake vs a written agreement.
- Having the conversation about wanting to put it down in writing your way.
- Who should pull the permit?
- What happens when things go wrong.
- Change orders.
- And more.
We will be accepting feedback on how our contractor services agreement should be updated for today's market.
Attendees will leave having reviewed our contractor services agreement and hopefully feeling more confident about hiring.
If you are a contractor and would like to share your perspective, you would be welcome! All service providers must adhere to our no sales-pitch guarantee. Contact us.
Part of this presentation will be given by Doug Quattrochi, Executive Director, MassLandlords, Inc. Doug was a founding member of MassLandlords in 2013. He became the association's first Executive Director under new bylaws in 2014. Since then, he has scaled the organization from a core of 160 members in Worcester to approximately 2,500 dues paying businesses from Pittsfield to the Cape, and from an all-volunteer team to approximately 20 full and part-time staff plus 50 volunteers. Doug has been instrumental in advancing democratic governance mechanisms, including score voting for policy priorities and a staggered and democratically elected Board of Directors. Doug also oversees the RentHelper spin-off, which is expanding access to electronic banking for those of us who are unbanked or underbanked. Prior to MassLandlords, Doug held leadership roles in various Massachusetts startups, two of which are still operating. Doug holds a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"Doug's presentation was excellent. He was very clear and provided detailed explanations." -Larry

"Your answers to member's questions were most helpful." -Liz
You can volunteer for a future event.

Since then, Dana and his wife have purchased and sold rental properties around the Metro West area. They now have 7 Units in Watertown and Marlborough. Dana is the Vice President of the Metro West Property Owners Association.
