How to Hire an Independent Contractor
If you are considering hiring a contractor, we recommend that you take the following steps:
Check compliance risk
Evaluate whether the hiring of a contractor complies with the regulations. Failure to take this step risks misclassifying an employee as a contractor. This can mean paying back taxes, interest, and penalties.
Choose the recruitment business model
The company may want to hire an independent contractor directly. However, this means setting up billing and payment systems, and dealing with potential tax implications.
About the independent contractor
It is important that there is a written contract or agreement for the employment of all independent contractors. The agreement sets forth the specific services to be performed, as well as payment, payment methods, and dispute resolution.
Manage ongoing relationships
In addition to managing the contractor's contracted deliverables, the company must ensure that it manages contract administration.

Hire globally in three easy steps
1. Legal partner
A contract alone defines the legal status of a worker. If a regulatory body determines that you have an employment relationship with a contractor, the penalties can be devastating.
2.Tax
Depending on the circumstances, hiring a contractor in some countries could cause a "dependent agent permanent establishment", which would make you liable for corporate income tax there.
3.Justice
In cases of contractor misconduct or breach of contract, enforcing the contract can be time consuming and expensive compared to an employment scenario.
