If you are a true contractor, at-will employment is not the default. Your relationship with the client should be business-to-business, and a key risk is misclassification, not just contract termination.
Your first move is verification, not negotiation. Before you ask for more money, sort the offer into five terms. **Contractual entitlement** is pay owed under your contract or employer plan. **Statutory minimum** is the legal floor. **Discretionary severance** is anything offered by agreement. **Termination date** is the legal end of employment. **Last working day** is the day you actually stop working. Those dates can differ, and that difference can affect notice, payroll, and immigration timing.
