SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you classify a proposed worker engagement (employee, independent contractor, temp via agency, or vendor/SOW) by testing whether the intended structure matches the facts, and it flags misclassification gaps before the work starts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prospective-only classification: Stops early if the engagement already exists, so analysis stays in the forward-looking planning lane rather than retroactive remediation.
  • Jurisdiction-driven test workflow: Loads the configured legal employment research footprint, then runs the applicable classification tests for the stated jurisdiction and purposes.
  • Factor-by-factor output with gap analysis: Produces test results, an overall classification call, and a structured mismatch report comparing intended structure vs. what the facts support.
  • Escalation and attorney gating: Triggers escalation when strict tests or contested prongs suggest attorney review is necessary, including a clear non-lawyer consequential-action gate.

Quick Start

Run /employment-legal:worker-classification and describe the proposed working arrangement, including work, control, economics, structure, purpose of classification, and the jurisdiction where the work will be performed.

Frequently Asked Questions about worker-classification

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I determine the correct worker classification before hiring a contractor?▼

Worker misclassification risk is identified through a factor-by-factor gap analysis comparing the intended engagement structure against what the facts support, surfacing mismatches across control, economics, and work relationship tests before the engagement begins.

What is the ABC test for independent contractors and when does it apply?▼

The ABC test is a strict jurisdictional employment test used to classify workers as independent contractors, applied during a prospective classification analysis alongside other relevant tests to evaluate whether the working arrangement meets legal requirements.

How do I classify a worker as an employee, contractor, or vendor under employment law?▼

Classifying a worker as an employee, independent contractor, staffing-agency temp, or vendor/SOW worker requires loading configured jurisdictional research context and running applicable employment tests to produce factor-scored results with an overall classification call.

When should I escalate a worker classification decision to an attorney?▼

You should escalate worker classification to an attorney when strict tests or contested prongs suggest legal review is necessary, triggered by an explicit attorney gating mechanism that enforces a non-lawyer consequential-action gate before finalizing the arrangement.

Can I use this worker classification analysis for retroactive reclassification of existing contractors?▼

No, this worker classification analysis cannot be used for retroactive reclassification because it enforces a prospective-only gate that stops early if the engagement already exists, keeping the analysis strictly in the forward-looking planning lane.
