FOR COMPANIES
Hire a freelancer without building an employment process
When the person does not have their own company, WorkNode can invoice you and employ them for the approved assignment.
- You have found the right person, but they do not have their own company.
- The assignment is clear and time-limited.
- You want to pay one invoice and have a clear party for invoicing, salary, and employer responsibilities.
Why it works
Three ways to engage someone
The right arrangement depends on the person's situation and how the work will be organised.
The freelancer invoices through their own company
Suitable when the freelancer already operates a company and can invoice you directly.
Your company employs the person
Suitable when the need is long-term and the work will be organised as employment.
WorkNode invoices your company
Suitable when the assignment can be approved for self-employment and the person will receive salary from WorkNode.
