Outsourced Payroll & Contract Administration for Pass-Through Contractors

Simple From the Start

Who are Pass-Through contractors?

While there is not a universal term, Pass-through contractors may also be referred to as temporary staff, contingent workforce, professional freelancers, independent workforce, however these individuals are typically alumni, referrals, or those who have been sourced directly by the organization. Chances are that up to 50% of your organization's total contractor workforce is comprised of people who were sourced independently of your recruitment partners. Pass-Through contractors are essential to how an organization works and gets work done.

Why do businesses work with 3rd party payroll companies?

The management of contractors can absorb a substantial amount of energy, time, resources and most importantly, may expose the organization to significant risks.

Requirements to consider:

  • Satisfying internal compliance requirements
  • Ensuring appropriate insurance coverage
  • Adhering to local and federal laws
  • Validating pay classification (1099, W-2, etc.)
  • Confirming legal status of the worker
  • Guaranteeing proper tax remittance
  • Satisfying Affordable Care Act requirements
