Frequently Asked Questions
How long does onboarding a new contractor take?
We typically send the onboarding packet to the worker within 2 hours of receiving of a complete and accurate Purchase Order. The total onboarding process usually requires 3-5 days due to waiting on background checks and the contractor to complete their documents. Please note–we do not have control over how fast the contractor completes their packet or how quickly a background check can be completed.
Do you offer benefits to employee contractors?
Yes, for all W-2 employees we offer three ACA compliant health benefit packages. For more details, you can download the brochure here.
When do we receive invoices?
The answer depends on your unique contract with us (we offer variety of payment and invoicing terms), although for most clients we invoice on a weekly basis each Friday for the previous week’s approved hours.
How do I know if my worker can be properly classified as an independent contractor?
Accurately complete the Purchase Order and ensure that you accurately answer the Independent Contractor Questionnaire form (which is part of the Purchase Order). We will use this information to properly classify the worker. As a starting point, any individual seeking to work as an independent contractor must have established a proper business entity and cannot operate as a sole proprietor. Please note, worker classification laws in the USA vary by state and laws frequently change.
How do my workers input their timesheets?
You can share this video with your contractors anytime. Also, we encourage you to share the Contractor Support Page which answers this and many other questions that we hear from contractors.
Do you have a support page for my contractors (workers) to answer their FAQ's?
Absolutely! Here is the link: https://www.agilepartnering.com/contractorsupport.
The contractor support page answers questions around benefits, timesheets, payments, etc.. And they can always email us at hr@agilepartnering.com if they have questions or need support.
