This article explains the Mass Misclassification Assessment and how clients can use it to validate and update several workers' classifications at once.
Employee misclassification occurs when a business classifies a worker as an independent contractor for tax and legal purposes but treats them like an employee. To help prevent this, Deel provides a worker classification assessment that will validate your contractor's classification.
Rather than take the assessment once for each worker, you can now classify multiple workers from the same country using our new Mass Assessment feature. This feature allows you to apply the answers from one Worker Classification Assessment survey to multiple workers within the same country.
