What is a Contractor of Record?
A Contractor of Record (CoR) is a service provider that becomes the official legal entity managing your contractor relationships. They handle proper classification, contracts, payroll processing, tax withholding, and compliance reporting. You retain operational control; the CoR takes on legal and compliance responsibility, often with indemnification for misclassification.
