gracemark Global Workforce Solutions
Agent of Record Services

Engage contractors globally
with classification handled.

Contractors give you flexibility. Managing them across countries creates risk: different contracts, payment rules and classification tests. One contractor who looks like an employee to a local authority can mean back taxes, benefits claims and penalties, and you usually find out last.

Gracemark engages your contractors properly through Agent of Record: compliant contracts, documentation, payments and a classification check on every engagement, and we tell you plainly when someone should be employed instead. Send the countries and how many contractors: you get a written risk view and the setup we recommend.

Quick answer

How do we engage contractors abroad the right way?

Start by checking that each person really works as an independent contractor in their country. Gracemark reviews the classification, sets up compliant contracts, and handles invoicing and records. If someone works like an employee, we tell you and offer an Employer of Record route instead, through the same partner. Send the countries and number of contractors to start; email or phone is enough.

07 / FAQFAQ

Questions buyers actually ask.

When should I use AOR instead of EOR?+

Use AOR for genuine independent contractors; use EOR when the role functions like employment. We help you classify correctly.

Does AOR eliminate misclassification risk?+

No arrangement removes every classification risk. An AOR review assesses the actual working relationship, documents the appropriate contractor setup and identifies when employment is the better route. Share your countries and how the people work for a written review and proposed next steps.

Can a contractor become an employee later?+

Yes, we convert contractors to EOR employment when the relationship calls for it.
