Ensure compliance. Manage risk. Retain specialized talent.

Successfully leveraging independent contractors while protecting your company from potential misclassification audits requires vigilance and focused risk management.

Yoh’s Independent Contractor Compliance (IC) solution uncovers and evaluates independent worker duties, rates and contracts to mitigate risk and provide cost-effective alternatives.

Independent Contractor Evaluation
Yoh’s structured data gathering and evaluation according to IRS guidelines and other critical indicators provides an outside perspective to allow clients to make informed decisions about the use of independent contractors.  In addition, Yoh can provide a market rate analysis for independent contractors to help assure that these resources are providing services at a market-competitive rate.

Incoming Independent Contractor Processing and Evaluation
Yoh can also assist with the development of guidelines for on-going evaluations of Independent Contractor engagements.   As workforce management experts, Yoh can also help identify other resources and engagement options as cost-effective alternatives to the costs and risks associated with Independent Contractor usage.

Payroll Services and Invoicing
Our payroll services and invoice processing services provide cost-effective alternatives to traditional Independent Contractor arrangements.  As contingent workers on assignment through Yoh, or as independent contractors with Yoh managing the burden of invoice processing, our solution helps retain critical skills and expertise while maintaining compliance and reducing exposure.

Penalties for Misclassification
State and federal penalties for misclassification of independent contractors can be devastating to an organization – as much as 70% of Independent Contractor Billings.  Other penalties can include:

• Unpaid Overtime
• Benefits
• Worker’s Compensation Premiums
• ERISA Compliance
