    Yes - make sure you have a contract stipulating terms of the work: how long for, how often paid (or how often you invoice them) and importantly - how long after invoicing you will get paid. Also ask them to include a job description so they don't ask you do do stuff that you can't do or wasn't agreed apon.

    You should ask them about tax also - if they pay you over a certain amount, they will have to submit a tax form saying they paid you x dollars and you will have to take your own tax out of your earnings. Best to speak to a tax agent.

    All sorts of documents you can get into... and they all vary per country or even state...
