🕵️‍♂️🔍 You’ve selected this team member as a contractor.
Before moving forward, let’s make sure this classification is correct to avoid potential tax penalties or compliance issues.

A contractor is appropriate when they:

Control how, when, and where they work
Use their own tools/equipment
Work independently without daily supervision
Can serve multiple clients
Perform project-based or non-core work

A team member may be an employee if:

You set their schedule or daily tasks
You supervise or train them regularly
They use your tools or systems
Their role is central to your business
The relationship is ongoing, not project-based

⚠️ Misclassification Warning:
If they perform core duties or operate like internal staff, they may legally be considered an employee—even if both of you prefer contractor status.

If you believe this team member should be classified as an employee, please click Previous and update their classification before continuing.

We simply want to ensure we have all the necessary details so the employee fully understands how they are being paid. Example: 10% commission on all gross sales processed, excluding retail; no commission on EFT; and a 1.5% bonus on monthly net revenue, minus processing fees.
If we already have your brand’s commission plans on file, simply write “on file.”

Example: “For the first 3 months, I am paying Batman an additional standard bonus of $500.00 per month to offset the lack of commission during presale.”
This information will be clearly outlined in the compensation plan agreement we prepare and provide to the team member.

Please also include the payment dates and amounts for each payment. If you haven’t paid this team member yet, you can simply skip this question.
