CONTRACTOR MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Hiring independent contractors may seem like the right move, as you’ll have access to a wide range of experts relevant to your business without the commitment or risk of adding them to your permanent workforce.
However, overseas independent contractors can easily become very complicated when you consider the fact that contractor laws and regulations vary across the world and they are constantly changing. For example, did you know that hiring an independent contractor as a full-time employee is illegal? As a result of unfamiliar local regulations like this, many businesses get into legal trouble when their contractor is declared an employee by the local authorities.

How do I turn my overseas contractors into full-time employees?
It is illegal for an international contractor to become a full-time employee of your company without changing their employee classification. In certain countries this can be punished severely with unexpected fines and, in some cases, jail time. To avoid this you must convert your overseas contractors into employees to comply with international laws. This requires:
- In-depth knowledge of the conversion process
- An attractive contract worth signing up for – it must be competitive with other local contracts or they might go elsewhere
- Understanding of a country’s local laws and cultural practices
- The support of compliant legal, HR, and accountant teams
Bradford Jacobs is a professional contractor management company with the skills, knowledge, and experience to make this process is easy and fully compliant without the need to handle any of these steps yourself.
