Powerful Classification Technology with a Human Touch
Secure Talent is a trusted resource to clients. We serve as an expert compliance advisor to client companies on their workforce, and our strategies integrate seamlessly into your company’s 1099 processes.
We tackle the 1099 compliance procedure from multiple angles: first with our powerful SPECS system, which stores the data collected on our clients’ 1099 workers, and then with two personal reviews to analyze the data and provide our recommendation for the client’s unique scenario.
Our SPECS technology is equipped to examine any client’s 1099 workforce in any business and location across the United States. SPECS facilitates the recommendation process and makes it simple for our clients and their independent contractors to submit information and documents anywhere at any time. And, SPECS time-stamps all of your ICs documentation. This allows Secure Talent to notify the 1099 worker of any upcoming expiration dates, so they can take the necessary steps to stay compliant.
Even though SPECS serves as a powerful tool to streamline the evaluation process, technology is never meant to replace the expertise that our seasoned compliance professionals bring. That’s why Secure Talent’s classification services are unmatched in the industry. In fact, our director of compliance services has made thousands of classification recommendation is his career, none of which have ever been overturned.
Our Evaluation & Classification services offer personalized attention tailored to clients’ specific needs. Our goal is to ensure recommendations that are sound for each client. And because Secure Talent aims to educate its clients, each step in the process is reported.
Once our recommendation is made, you’re sure to fully understand the classification process and why the worker in question has received that recommendation. And, if it turns out a 1099 classification is not recommended and your company wishes to retain that worker’s services, our professional employer-of-record program allows you retain the talent you need without risk.
