Freelance Ecosystem

Companies are facing a risk of getting accused of misclassification of their employees, if freelancers they hire do not meet the following criteria:

  • Freelancers own their own clearly identifiable business, which is separate than the work they are carrying for the company.
  • Freelancers have control over what is done, how, when and where it is done and whether it is themselves personally who do the work or another individual
  • Freelancers control the hours of work in fulfilling the outcome obligations of the job.
  • Freelancers are free to hire other individuals to carry out their work.
  • Freelancers can provide the same service to more than one person or business at the same time.
  • Freelancers are exposed to personal financial risk in carrying out the work, such as having to bear the cost of making good on any substandard work or footing the bill for the time overruns.
  • Freelancers have the opportunity to vary the amount of financial profit they make from the work, by using their own control of how they carry out the work. Hannah Young, Partner & Corporate Solution Manager at CXC EMEA
