Contractor Onboarding and Classification Support

Get the paperwork right before it becomes a tax problem

We build your contractor onboarding, agreement templates and record keeping, and flag classification risk clearly, because misclassification penalties are assessed per worker.

Worker classification is one of the few admin mistakes that compounds quietly and then arrives as a bill. There is no single federal test: the IRS uses a common law test for tax and the Department of Labor uses an economic reality test for wage and hour, and states apply their own. We build the onboarding, agreements and records, and we flag where your arrangement looks risky. We are not employment lawyers and we will tell you when you need one.

What is included

• Contractor agreement templates with scope and deliverable structure
• Onboarding checklist covering documentation and tax forms
• Records system with renewal and expiry reminders
• A plain explanation of the different classification tests that apply
• Risk flags where an arrangement looks more like employment
• Payment and invoicing process for contractors

What you receive

• Contractor agreement and onboarding templates
• A configured records system
• A written summary of where your arrangements sit
• A clear list of what to take to a professional

Who this is for

Businesses growing through contractors, and anyone treating long term contractors like staff.

What you get

Clean paperwork, and an honest view of where the risk sits.
