Many of these hires are freelancers or consultants who are brought on for a limited time or specific project—a category of worker typically referred to as an independent contractor.
Unfortunately, someone you consider and compensate as an independent contractor may be classified as an employee according to employment law in the country where they work. If you’ve misclassified someone on your payroll, your organization could be at grave risk of massive fines, a business shutdown or even jail time.
