| 单词 | Contract for services |
| 释义 | 服務提供合約 An agreement, whether express or implied by law, between two principal, neither is the employer or employee of the other and one party agrees to provide workplace services to another, whether payment is to be one a price, task or time basis, and wherever the services are to be rendered. The person providing the services is an independent contractor. It distinguishes from a ‘contract of employment’ or ‘contract of service’, which establishes a relationship of employment and, generally, gives the employer a right of control over the worker’s manner of doing the work. A contract for services tends to be one by which the contractor has undertaken to produce a given result, and payment is due only when the contractual conditions have been fulfilled: Performing Rights Society Ltd v Mitchell and Booker (Palais de Danse) Ltd [1924] 1 KB 762; Lee Ting Sang v Chung Chi Keung [1990] 1 HKLR 764, 2 AC 374; Cheng Tai Lok v Tai Lee Transportation Co [1995] 2 HKC 169 (HC). The fundamental test to be applied would be: Is the person who has engaged himself to perform these services performing them as a person in business on his own account? If the answer is affirmative, the contract is a contract for services. No exhaustive list has been compiled and perhaps no exhaustive list can be compiled of the considerations which are relevant in determining that question, nor can strict rules be laid down as to the relative weight which the various considerations should carry in particular cases: Market Investigations Ltd v Minister of Social Security [1968] 3 All ER 732, [1969] 2 QB 173; Lee Ting Sang v Chung Chi Keung, supra. It also means a contract of apprenticeship: Labour Tribunal Ordinance (Cap 25) s 2. See also Contract of employment; Control test; Independent contractor. 由兩名非僱傭關係的委托人明訂或根據法律而隱含的協議，其中一方同意提供工作場所的服務予另一方，不論是按價格、工作或時間付款及在哪兒服務。提供服務的一方為一獨立承辦商。服務提供合約與「僱傭合約」或「僱用合約」不同。「僱傭合約」或「僱用合約」建立一僱傭關係；概括而言，亦給予僱主控制僱員工作方式的權力。服務提供合約傾向屬承辦商承諾達致某一指定結果的合約，付款在已符合合約訂明的條件後才到期：Performing Rights Society Ltd v Mitchell and Booker (Palais de Danse) Ltd [1924] 1 KB 762; Lee Ting Sang v Chung Chi Keung [1990] 1 HKLR 764, 2 AC 374; Cheng Tai Lok v Tai Lee Transportation Co [1995] 2 HKC 169（高等法院）。基本被引用的測試為：該允諾履行服務的人是否以為自己經營業務的身分履行那些服務？如答案是肯定的，有關的合約便是服務提供合約。就找出該問題的答案而需考慮的因素而言，並未被編輯成詳盡的清單，亦或許不能被編輯成詳盡的清單；同樣，個別因素在個別案件所占的相應比重的規則不能被制定：Market Investigations Ltd v Minister of Social Security [1968] 3 All ER 732, [1969] 2 QB 173; Lee Ting Sang v Chung Chi Keung, 見上文。僱傭合約亦指學徒訓練合約：《勞資審裁處條例》（第25章）第2條。另見 Contract of employment; Control test; Independent contractor。 |
