Get contractors ready to start
Keep classification, documents, agreements, tax and screening checks, and payout setup with the engagement. See what is ready and what still needs attention.
See what is ready and what needs attention
Legal, operations, finance, and payments teams often hold different pieces of the same contractor engagement. Gruv keeps those pieces together so the next step is clear.
Check the country and role
Start with where the contractor works, what they will do, and which contracting model applies.
Keep documents and decisions together
Connect the classification assessment, required documents, agreement, tax details, and screening checks to the engagement.
Make the next step obvious
Show what is missing, who owns it, and whether the contractor can move forward or needs review.
Prepare for payout
Give operations and finance a shared view of the checks and payout details needed before money moves.
Before onboarding
Decide who does what
Agent of Record service can differ by country, contractor profile, contracting role, and payout route. Agree on the responsibilities before the first invite goes out.
That makes it clear which steps Gruv can support, which need a specialist or provider, and who makes the final legal or tax decision.
Six questions to answer first
- Which countries and contractor profiles will you start with?
- Who contracts with the contractor, and who owns the classification decision?
- Which documents and agreements must be complete before work starts?
- Who owns tax, screening, insurance, and payout responsibilities?
- What should happen when a requirement is missing or expires?
- Who handles the exception, and when should the engagement or payout wait?
Start small

Use one real contractor group to make the normal path and the first blocked case clear before adding another market.
Choose the first contractor group
Pick one country, worker profile, and contracting approach instead of trying to launch every case at once.
Map onboarding as it works today
List the people, documents, decisions, systems, and payout details involved from invite to ready.
Put each requirement with the engagement
Keep classification, documents, agreements, tax, screening, and payout status in one place.
Test the normal and blocked paths
Run one routine case and one case with a missing requirement so the owner and next step are clear.
Common use cases
