Contractor classification assessments

See how each answer becomes a reviewable record

Collect the engagement facts required for the worker's jurisdiction. Keep the evaluated factors, result and rule version together, then check classification readiness before onboarding moves forward.

Three answers from the wider fictional assessment. ENG-418 assumes a supported jurisdiction, all other required answers complete and matching engagement context.

From questionnaire to assessment

Know what goes in and what comes out

The question set follows the worker's jurisdiction. Each completed assessment keeps the source context beside the outcome, so a later review can identify which inputs and rules were used.

  1. 01

    Engagement

    Worker and client record

    The client location comes from the workspace-linked engagement.

  2. 02

    Jurisdiction

    Worker country and subdivision

    Worker location selects the supported question set and rules.

  3. 03

    Required answers

    Yes/no, number, choice or text

    The returned questionnaire defines the field type and required state.

One result, two decisions

Read the assessment, then check readiness

ENG-418 has a completed contractor result and an eligible program workflow state. Classification readiness also checks that this is the latest assessment for the right workspace, client, engagement and identity before it returns ready.

What does the assessment result preserve?

The record keeps the result, status, factor scores, factor evidence, risk flags, jurisdiction path and rule version. It also records a required reason and actor when an authorized team applies a manual override.

What does ready mean here?

Ready means the latest classification assessment matches the engagement and has a contractor result with eligible program status. Onboarding still applies its own requirements. This record does not execute or release a payout.

Two follow-up paths

Fix missing inputs. Recheck changed facts

The next action changes depending on whether the assessment was incomplete or the engagement itself changed later.

Before evaluation

A required yes/no answer is missing

The questionnaire cannot submit a missing required factor answer.

What happens next?

Return to the jurisdiction-specific questionnaire, complete the required yes/no answer and submit it again. A missing supporting hard-gate input adds a warning and can route an otherwise eligible result to Needs review.

After the facts change

The engagement needs a fresh assessment

Current answers produce a new record while earlier assessments stay available.

Which record controls readiness?

Classification readiness reads the latest assessment attached to the engagement. Keep the earlier records for context, then use the newest result and eligibility state for the next workflow decision.

Classification assessment

Result and readiness recorded

The latest assessment tells the wider workflow whether the classification gate is ready or carries a blocker.

Next AoR stage

Continue through onboarding

Review the separate engagement requirements that must clear before the contractor moves further through the program.

Classification assessment questions

What information starts a classification assessment?+
The assessment starts with the contractor engagement, worker location, client location from the engagement, and answers to the required jurisdiction-specific questions. The question set records field type, required status, options and helper text where those details apply.
What happens when a required answer is missing?+
A missing required yes/no factor answer stops the submission with a validation error before a completed assessment is recorded. Complete that answer and submit again. A missing supporting hard-gate input adds a warning and can route an otherwise eligible result to Needs review.
Can an authorized team change an assessment result?+
Yes. An authorized team can record a manual override with a required reason. The assessment keeps the prior result and status, the new result, the actor and the override time in its audit record.
What should we do when the engagement changes?+
Collect the current engagement answers and start a fresh assessment. Earlier assessments remain available, while classification readiness reads the latest assessment attached to the engagement.
Does a completed assessment release a payout?+
No. The assessment supplies a classification readiness state for the broader AoR workflow. Payment review and release remain separate steps with their own requirements.
