Going global without the trouble

In 2016, Uber paid over $100 million in class-action lawsuit settlements to drivers they misclassified as independent contractors. The example is extreme, but it highlights the importance of compliance during hiring, even for independent contractors. 

Hiring foreign independent contractors is ever riskier because you have to learn (and adhere to) a whole new set of labor laws surrounding worker classification in different countries. The definitions of an independent contractor may not always be aligned, which means your remote worker may be considered an employee in their home country.

How do you ensure your workers have contractor status? What payment methods can you use to pay your freelancers? Do you need an independent contractor agreement and what does it look like?

Access your free guide for answers to these questions and essential notes to ensure you’re ready for hiring contractors abroad while staying compliant with local labor and tax laws.
