Mitigate risk in new markets.
Companies that engage independent contractors are susceptible to misclassification fines, intellectual property (IP) theft, and compliance audits by local employment authorities. Stay protected when building teams across the globe.
- Avoid the costly fines, legal fees, business interruptions, and reputational damage that comes with talent misclassification
- Establish clear IP ownership in statements of work or employment contracts to avoid legal conflicts in the future
- Turn to one partner for all necessary documentation and paperwork to reduce stress in the case of an audit
Hire compliantly, no matter the classification.
You invest significant time and energy to find the right people for your needs. Bring in the professionals you’ve worked so hard to recruit—regardless of whether they’re classified as independent contractors or supported employees.
