Legal entity and model (legal entity/EOR/contractor)
Responsibility for legal/operational issues + signs of misclassification.
Contracts and intellectual property
Type of agreement, confidentiality, transfer of intellectual property, data protection, clear termination conditions.
Payroll and payments
Taxes/withholdings, payroll details, local bank restrictions, common reasons for delays.
Compliance and security basics
Classification review + MFA, access rules, device policy, termination checklist.
Onboarding and ownership map
