Drift detected
On four trigger types
Expiry, law change, concentration threshold, assessment update.
For compliance, ops, and audit partners
Keep contractor engagements honest after activation
Your German contractor's right-to-work expires in 30 days. Gruv queues the recheck automatically. India updates its labor code. Affected Indian engagements get flagged the same week. Overrides route through maker-checker review. Audit history stays on the engagement.

Maker-checker path
Second approver, decision, and reasoning recorded on the record.
Review paths
Four ways monitoring keeps decisions accountable
Each path writes state to the engagement so the next reviewer starts from the same record.
Override requests via maker-checker
A second approver reviews, accepts, or rejects. Decision and reasoning record on the engagement. Nothing gets lost to a Slack thread.
Recheck queues with deadlines
Cohort views show how many engagements need attention, the trigger reason, and the target deadline. Your team triages from one screen.
One-click audit exports
Export reviewer history, hold reasons, signed paper versions (via DocuSign), and classification changes per engagement or per cohort.
Reviewer identity on every decision
Every override and recheck carries the reviewer name and timestamp. Your auditor sees who decided, not just what was decided.
How it works
How monitoring keeps engagements honest
Four steps. Drift becomes a queue on Monday, not a fire drill the night before an audit.

Audit-ready monitoring
Audit-ready event history without spreadsheet rework.
Recheck triggers, override decisions, hold reasons, and reviewer identities live next to the engagement record. The next audit question can be answered without rebuilding context from logs.
- Reviewer identity recorded for every override.
- Recheck packs exportable for engagement cohorts.
- Hold history attached to every paused release.
- Status timeline preserved across reclassification.
Four triggers that put engagements back in review
Each trigger fires on the engagement record, queues affected items, and assigns owners. No gut-feel reviews. No calendar reminders to chase.
Expiry
W-8BEN, right-to-work, signed paper
Your Indian contractor's right-to-work expires in 30 days. Gruv queues the renewal before the expiry date, not after.
Law update
Germany changes its rules
Germany updates contractor classification rules in March. Gruv flags every affected German engagement for recheck the same week.
Concentration
Payout threshold crossed
A US contractor crosses 80% of revenue from one client. The engagement flips back into reassessment with the reason recorded.
Assessment update
New rule version (v2026.1)
A new rule version rolls out. Affected engagements queue for recheck and signed paper refreshes via DocuSign.
Compliance ops scenario
Compliance ops lead
Last year we rebuilt audit trails the night before every review. Now the engagement record carries recheck history, override decisions, and signed paper versions. Our auditor exports the pack in one click.
Scenario: Director of contractor compliance - Multi-region marketplace
Tie it together
Loop monitoring back into classification
Germany changes its rules. Classification reruns. Paper refreshes via DocuSign. Holds clear or stay applied. The engagement record reflects the new truth without anyone rebuilding context.
Frequently Asked Questions
What triggers a recheck on an active contractor?+
Four things: W-8BEN or right-to-work expiry, labor-law updates (Germany changes its rules, India updates its code), payout concentration crossing a threshold, and new rule version rollouts. Each trigger records the reason on the engagement.
How does the override process work?+
Override requests route through a maker-checker path. A second approver reviews, accepts, or rejects. The reviewer identity, decision, and reasoning record on the engagement. Nothing gets lost to email or Slack.
Can Gruv re-screen contractors after activation?+
Yes. Sanctions and PEP screening has its own recheck schedule that runs independently after activation.
What does an audit pack include?+
Recheck history, override decisions, reviewer identities, hold reasons, signed paper versions (from DocuSign), and a full status timeline. Exportable per engagement or per cohort.
How does Gruv detect payout concentration changes?+
Monitoring tracks payout mix across the engagement period. A US contractor crosses 80% revenue from one client. Gruv flags the engagement for reassessment before downstream releases continue.
