Contractor of Record
With QPS’s Contractor of Record (CoR) service, you can hire with confidence, knowing your contractors are correctly classified and fully compliant with local employment laws.
Powering global expansion with compliance and confidence
Hiring independent contractors can be a fast and cost-effective route to scaling your business.
But without correct classification and local compliance, it’s a risk-laden path. QPS’s Contractor of Record (CoR) service provides recruitment agencies and growing businesses with a fully managed solution to engage international contractors compliantly—without the need for a legal entity.
Avoid the risks of misclassification
Misclassifying contractors doesn’t just affect your bottom line—it can also lead to serious financial, legal, and reputational harm. Common risks include:
- Costly legal fees from defending against misclassification claims
- Government fines and backdated tax liabilities
- Damage to your brand among clients, regulators, and talent
The solution: We provide full indemnification against misclassification, so you can hire with confidence
