The contract is very clear. You are not an employee but a service provider. You will have to take registration and show your supplies accordingly.

Employees can be taken on contract and fixed sum paid without any benefits. In such a case it will considered as payment for employment GST not applicable.

I agree with CA Altamush Zafar, it is clearly a Contract Agreement and not employment Agreement. You shall be treated as a Service Provider and need to get your self registered under GST Regime and also pay GST if not opted for LUT.
