A work made for hire is any work that was made for you by another person who was specifically contracted to create that work. So if you hire a writer to write a project that you had an idea for, that is a work made for hire. If the writer wrote the work completely independently and you then decided to make the work into a film, you will have to indicate in this contract that the writer is selling his writes to the script to you for a sum of money. The transaction should take place in some form that allows a paper trail to occur.
