So, at first, hiring contractors might feel like the best option when you're scaling up. At the crux of employee misclassification lawsuits is how the culprits are far from bootstrapped newbies with limited resources. Rather, they are richly valued, profitable powerhouses looking for an easy solution to cater to growing demands.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cpicture class=\"image-align-left\">\u003Csource srcset=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/foto-1/00bo-12.webp\" type=\"image/webp\">\u003Cimg alt=\"How to Hire When Scaling up Fast?

Kevin Gibbon, Shyp’s CEO, \u003Ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2015/07/01/ceo-kevin-gibbon-on-why-shyp-is-converting-its-1099-workers-into-w2-employees/\" target=\"_blank\">made it clear to TechCrunch\u003C/a> that the change was not the result of the lawsuit, citing the ability to train its couriers and provide more supervision as the primary benefits.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Hot on Shyp’s heels, Luxe, Eden, and Sprig quickly followed suit, though none made direct reference to employee misclassification as their motivation. At the time of this publication, three of the four mentioned businesses have gone under. While there could be a myriad of reasons as to why the businesses failed, it is fair to say the changing commitment to their workforce could have played some part.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The effects of a lawsuit linger long after defendants leave the courtroom. Uber, for example, continues to be beleaguered by public backlash from its fallout with its employees, among other things.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Chr />\n\u003Ch4>To hire when scaling up fast: it doesn’t have to be one or the other (Contractor or Employee)\u003C/h4>\n\n\u003Cp>Raymond Grainger, founder and CEO of Mavenlink, says a business can have a mixture of both employees and contractors. While there is no magic number or formula, he’s found having a 30 percent contractor base can work well for small businesses. The 25-year tech and IT veteran added the decision to hire full-time employees is also dependent on profit margins.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>“If the billable time of current full-time employees is at or above 85 percent and the profit margins are at least 50 percent, those are good indicators that the company is ready to add another full-time employee,” he says. With contractors, the profit margin may be less, so it may be better to stick with contractors and not commit a full-timer to the workload until the required margins are achieved.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>He adds that a smart business owner will tap into the benefits each employment type has to offer. Having a reliable, trustworthy, solid base of contractors who can be hired as needed is a perk all fledging startups with limited resources can use. Investing in full-time employees to oversee and manage the delivery of projects, while keeping their ear to the ground for additional projects and opportunities is critical to ensuring you don’t have to do everything yourself.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Jimmy Fabiano, general manager of OnForce, a freelancer management software system, shares Grainger’s sentiment. He sees how many companies are shifting to a “blended” workforce. Fabiano observes businesses hiring full-time employees for customer-facing and technical positions to prevent the loss of intellectual property, while engaging freelancers to manage bookkeeping and databases.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cpicture class=\"image-align-left\">\u003Csource srcset=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/foto-1/00op-15.webp\" type=\"image/webp\">\u003Cimg alt=\"How to Hire When Scaling up Fast? Employee or Contractor?\" class=\"image-align-left\" height=\"257\" src=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/foto-1/00op-15.jpeg\" width=\"270\" />\u003C/picture>It is also very possible to hire an independent contractor and switch their status to a full-time employee as their responsibilities grow. The key is to initiate the right conversation to make this happen, rather than deliberately delay the process to avoid committing to additional benefits and costs.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The point is not to pit full-time employees against independent contractors or finding the one-size-fits-all solution. When scaling up fast, both options (Contractors and employees) might be the solution when hiring. Nor should it be assumed employee misclassification is always done in bad faith.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>What matters is having the correct paperwork, payroll, and onboarding for each type, so when the contract or employment relationship comes to an end, it is without liability to you as the business owner or at the expense of the employee. The arrival of an on-demand economy allows both employers and employees to explore new opportunities, but for some employers, it has given way to prioritizing profits over workers’ rights.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The law is also catching up with technology. While the modern workplace has been evolving faster than Congress, the courts have been stepping up and in to fill the gaps. While the nature of business will always set the tone for the workers, compliance and the commitment to employees should remain unchanged. And in the case of employee classification, the message is crystal clear: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Ch5>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/10-tactics-to-do-seo-for-contractors\">10 Tactics to Do SEO for Contractors\u003C/a>\u003C/h5>\n\n\u003Cp>Thank you!\u003Cbr />\nSubscribe to our newsletter! Join us on social networks!\u003Cbr />\nSee you!\u003C/p>","how-to-hire-when-scaling-up-fast-employee-or-contractor","2021-09-07T16:09:18.000000Z","2025-01-17T11:30:00.000000Z","17.01.2025",{"image":81,"image_webp":82,"thumb":83,"thumb_webp":84},"https://cdn.quasa.io/images/news/GA0AcDqHZEJRMwmhVcXeM9g3q4qJOVw5h19QX3eF.jpg","https://cdn.quasa.io/images/news/GA0AcDqHZEJRMwmhVcXeM9g3q4qJOVw5h19QX3eF.webp","https://cdn.quasa.io/thumbs/news-thumb/images/news/GA0AcDqHZEJRMwmhVcXeM9g3q4qJOVw5h19QX3eF.jpg","https://cdn.quasa.io/thumbs/news-thumb/images/news/GA0AcDqHZEJRMwmhVcXeM9g3q4qJOVw5h19QX3eF.webp","large",null,3280,0,"en",{"id":69,"title":65,"slug":66,"meta_title":91,"meta_description":92,"meta_keywords":93,"deleted_at":86,"created_at":94,"updated_at":95,"lang":89},"Quasa Media - Growth Hacking in Business","Business is a battlefield.
