The problem: organizing, tracking and paying your independent contractors

There are a lot of niches where independent contractors are the best choice for a company.  By using independent contractors, you can:

• bring in unique or hard-to-hire expertise, on the short or long term
• top up staffing levels during periods of high demand
• bring back downsized or early-retired employees
• avoid layoffs of full-time staff during temporary downturns

The challenge: independent contractors also create payroll and spend-tracking headaches, such as:

• you have no way to monitor which contractors have been on contract for a long time, and may be candidates for full-time hire
• co-employment legal issues when a contractor works for you over a long period
• difficulty with tracking company spend on contractor services
• extra administrative load due to various government remittances for sole proprietors versus incorporated contractors
• difficulty with setting, and maintaining, consistent company policies on how much to pay each type of contractor

Our service offering:  Payrolling

Let TES take over the job of tracking and paying your independent contractors.  For a minimal fee, TES will:

• create an extra layer of legal distance to prevent co-employment issues
• create a unified pay rate policy and a unified set of contract terms, to be applied to all independent contractors

What you’ll get:

• Lower administrative costs
• Regular, customized reports on what you are spending on independent contractors and where
