Employee Misclassification Check

A 2-minute self-check for teams hiring contractors in India.

In India, worker classification isn't decided by what you call someone. It's decided by how the work actually happens.

Courts and regulators look at reality, not paperwork: control, integration, dependence, continuity. Most misclassification isn't intentional. It happens when teams optimise for speed, then quietly scale.

This quiz helps you spot risk early, and learn what actually matters.
