As more companies embrace flexible, remote, and contigent work, the benefits are high but it also introduces added complexity and risk. Should the freelance software engineer actually be classified as an employee? How can we automate our 1099 payments like we do ordinary payroll? How can we register in 30 states for employment for a 5-month project? These are just some of the questions that come up in the new world of work.

This is where Ascen thrives. We become your Employer of Record (EOR) (for contractors classified as W-2) or Agent of Record (AOR) (for contractors classified as independent contractors). In doing so we handle the compliance complexity, payroll, and benefits. This allows you to focus on your business and stop managing HR complexity for this part of your workforce.
