How does Native Teams handle worker classification (employee vs. contractor) across different countries?

Native Teams ensures the right worker classification thanks to localised legal expertise in 85+ countries. These legal professionals have a firm grasp of the nuances between hiring employees vs contractors. Their legal background also helps craft employment contracts, which clarify worker status based on job roles, work autonomy, payment structures, and benefit entitlements. 


In addition, we implement risk mitigation strategies, like performing regular audits to ensure that the employment relationship is aligned with evolving laws. In that way, you don’t have to grapple with steep misclassification penalties or a dark mark on your reputation in the new market. 


Once you’ve classified your worker, you can hire them as a full-time employee through Native Teams’ Employer of Record solutions. We act as the legal employer, handling taxes, social security contributions and all the admin work. You’ll remain responsible for overseeing the employees’ work and their daily management. 


We also offer services for companies that engage contractors. These include tools for generating legally valid invoices across jurisdictions, a contractor agreement that outlines important payment terms, a Native Teams card, and more.
