Solutions/Contractor management/Long-term exclusive contractor
Commercial seat
Long-term exclusive contractor
The person worked only for the company and reported to a local manager. After a contract review they converted to in-country employment and local payroll.
Project background
A sales seat had been on a consultant contract for more than a year, working only for the company, on company tools, reporting to a local manager. That is employment in fact.
A contract review converted them to in-country employment: local labour contract, payroll, and social charges. The consultant arrangement ended on notice.
Profile
- The facts are employment: exclusive, directed, on company tools.
- Will convert to a local employee and local pay, not keep invoicing.
- The job stays. The contract and filings change.
- The word “consultant” does not cover a long exclusive seat.

On payroll the next month
Classification was written down and conversion papers completed in two weeks. Local payroll started the next month. Consulting fees stopped so pay did not run twice.

One conversion. No new public search.
What we took from it
The seat kept seeing customers as an employee. Invoicing ended. Facts and contract match if inspected.
Waiting for an inspection costs back-pay and an explanation. A dated annual review is more predictable than an emergency conversion.
For the next brief: look at direction and exclusivity on a clock. A job title is not a classification.
