How do I convert my contractors to employees?
Contractor conversion can protect your company from misclassification risk. You have two main options to convert contractors to employees.
One option is to set up a legal entity in each country where your team works. This lets you officially hire them as employees and provide full pay and benefits. But opening entities takes time and money.
The other is to use an employer of record (EOR), which hires them on your behalf so they’re legally employees. You still manage their work; the EOR handles payroll, benefits, and compliance in each country.

How do I know if my contractor is compliant?
Figuring out contractor compliance isn’t always straightforward.
You’ll need to check your country’s labor laws and classification rules, then see if the way you work with them fits those definitions.
Red flags can include providing contractors with employee-style benefits, setting their daily schedules, or preventing them from taking on other clients.
If you’re unsure, it’s worth getting help from someone who works in this space every day. Pebl can help you determine if you should hire a contractor vs. an employee and walk you through the compliance process in over 185 countries so you can move forward with confidence.

How do I know if my contractors are misclassified?
Contractor misclassification happens when someone treated as a contractor meets the legal definition of an employee where they work.
Signs include restricting other jobs, directing their hours or how they work, or keeping them in an ongoing role that mirrors employment.
Every country defines this differently, and laws shift often. Our Contractor Misclassification Assessment tool can help you check quickly, or you can talk through the details with one of our experts.
