worker-classification

To assess independent contractor misclassification risk, classify the proposed worker engagement by running jurisdiction-specific legal tests like the ABC test against intake facts to produce a risk-aware classification signal.

The ABC test for worker classification is a jurisdiction-specific legal standard used to determine if a worker is an independent contractor or employee by evaluating control, exclusivity, and the nature of the work against specific statutory prongs.

You classify a proposed worker by evaluating the role's control, compensation, exclusivity, tools, and jurisdiction against applicable FLSA wage-hour and payroll tax tests to score factor-by-factor and identify the correct engagement type.

This worker classification tool only evaluates prospective engagements. It stops if the engagement has already started and escalates the inquiry as a remediation-sensitive retroactive misclassification risk question.

Yes, you can use this for state wage-hour and payroll tax compliance because it runs the applicable classification tests for the specific jurisdictions and relevant legal purposes, including unemployment and workers' compensation.

When facts conflict with the intended contractor arrangement, the factor-by-factor gap analysis highlights the specific contested prongs and triggers an attorney-ready escalation for counsel review.
