AOR
Compliantly onboard and pay your independent contractors
Protect your self-sourced contract workers from misclassification and co-employment risks with IES as your Agent of Record.
Baseline risk profile
Know your risk level from the start
As your Agent of Record, IES will begin by analyzing your workforce, workflows, and policies to better understand your risk level and potential vulnerabilities. We’ll then configure your program to keep you safe.
Risk reduction
Minimize the risk of using ICs
IES’s proven compliance process and Agent of Record services protect your business from IC misclassification – and the fines, tax payments, co-employment lawsuits, and brand damage that can follow.
Accurate classifications
Accurate classifications, every time
Don’t leave worker classification to chance. IES has been evaluating potential ICs for compliance for decades, and we’ve never had a recommendation overturned.
Regional precision
Ensure contractor compliance, wherever you hire
IC qualification rules differ from state to state and country to country. IES’s Legal team knows every jurisdiction’s unique rules, so you ensure statutory compliance – wherever you find the right talent.
All worker types
Engage all types of independent workers
From hourly freelancers to SOW project workers, potential ICs come in all shapes and sizes. With IES, you can recruit and compliantly engage every type of worker.
Long-term compliance
Safe now, safe later
IC compliance isn’t a once-and-done effort. IES tracks your ICs’ insurance expiration dates so they don’t lapse, plus we stay on top of changes to IC regulations as they happen.
