Main content

  • The growth in the use of independent contractors has become one of the most significant legal trends in the workforce today. But as regulators crack down on misclassification and the practice carries greater risk, employers and staffing firm suppliers are turning to employer of record services to engage contingent labor

  • In this report, we look at the ways in which the law classifies independent contractors across 21 different countries. In addition, we identify the different models that independent contractors use to provide their services, which can differ from country to country

  • We also highlight whether employer of record or payrolling services can be provided in each of those countries
