If your entire staffing strategy hinges on whether someone’s an employee or an independent contractor, it’s structurally unsound. The Department of Labor’s shifting stance on worker classification (including the 2024 rule) reveals a deeper problem: brittle workforce models that depend on regulatory ambiguity instead of operational clarity.

❌ Misclassification exposure goes undetected until it’s too late.
❌ Compliance efforts turn reactive — not proactive.
❌ Onboarding slows while legal teams triage contract language.

✅ EOR structures that preserve talent access without classification risk
✅ Scalable onboarding workflows across W-2 and 1099 pathways
✅ Pre-screening for control, dependency, and business integration factors
✅ Dynamic risk segmentation by jurisdiction and labor type

Because when classification rules change, your strategy shouldn’t.
