Erik Vonk Featured in Forbes Article on Global Worker Classification

Total workforce management is key to executing your company’s talent strategy. Peace of mind and efficiency of process are essential when businesses look to engage independent contractors and employees while maintaining compliance. There are many things to consider when vetting a worker to be sure you’re hiring the right talent and are properly classifying them once onboarded.

A 2020 Gartner survey of finance executives reported that nearly 75% planned to make some of their workforce remote until 2021. Now, with the alarming rise in COVID cases being reported each day, the virtualization of America’s workforce may be extended well into 2021 and beyond, or become a permanent workforce strategy for many companies. The problem is, it’s just not that easy for organizations to accurately and effectively payroll and provide benefits for their employees in a virtual world, across multi-state and international borders. Adding to the challenge, momentous and highly-complex employment legislation has been written and signed into law at lightning-speed this year—many with negative and costly consequences for employers if ignored. And, with the obstacle course of new legislation like California’s Prop 22, COVID-related employment laws and state and industry-specific employment laws, correctly maneuvering through it all presents huge and unfamiliar hurdles to employers across all states.
