Frequenty asked questions

Can AI-generated contractor agreements hold up legally under the UK's IR35?

Not without expert review. AI can produce contracts that look compliant, but under IR35 even subtle wording around deadlines, task assignment, or control can bring a contractor within scope. HMRC also looks beyond the written contract to assess the real working relationship, so any gap between what the agreement says and how the engagement actually operates can trigger reclassification. All AI-drafted contracts should be reviewed by legal and HR professionals before use.

What documents do I need to collect when onboarding international contractors?

The documents required vary by country and worker type, but a compliant international contractor onboarding process should collect country-specific classification forms, jurisdiction-appropriate contract templates, tax documentation aligned to each region's filing requirements, data consent forms that comply with local privacy laws such as GDPR in the EU or DPDP in India, and right-to-work verification where required. In some countries you must also verify self-employment registration before making any payments.
