Worksome now offers a global classification recommendation in addition to the US- and UK- specific classifications. This provides you with the means to correctly classify your workers and select the appropriate contract.

How does the global classification work?

It’s important that you inform us of your global hiring needs upfront so that we can assist you and your worker(s) with the account setup.

Once you have created a job and invited a Trusted Contact you will be asked to classify the worker.

If you already know how you intend to hire the worker, you can go ahead with selecting the classification and contract type. If however you are unsure and would like help, go ahead with selecting the purple Classify button. This will open the global worker classification tool.

Once all of the questions have been answered and the questionnaire submitted, there will be an outcome of either employee or independent contractor. You will then need to manually select the worker classification and confirm it by selecting Save.

When you use the worker classification recommendation tool, Worksome provides indemnification against a misclassification. However for the misclassification indemnification to be upheld, it is important that the worker classification (and contract type) that you select matches the outcome of the questionnaire. You can refer to the hire contract for the legal terms related to this.

Does my Trusted Contact need to do anything?

Your Customer Success Manager will be able to guide you and the worker on their account setup, specifically their business entity information and their bank details.

How do we access the classification result?

Your customer support manager will be able to provide the questionnaire results to you, and your Trusted Contact, if requested.

Does Worksome offer a payroll option?

Yes, Worksome can payroll a global contract through our payroll partners, but you can also bring your own payroll provider.
