Why Bartech Is Different…Experience

Our team of compliance professionals has deep industry knowledge and has worked with IC compliance, closely following its evolution for nearly a decade and a half. Our analysts and legal team provide an unbiased third-party assessment that helps mitigate the risks of worker misclassification and allows you to focus on your core business.

High-Touch Services and IC Care Centers

Unlike other companies, Bartech assigns each IC worker with a Care Representative, who personally ensures a smooth onboarding process for both the worker and the company, and acts as an ongoing resource during the engagement — providing a positive experience for you and the IC. We treat each IC with respect and care, providing each candidate with the attention and service they should expect.

Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluations

We take both a quantitative and qualitative approach to our contractor evaluations; as we collect information from the client and contractor, we assess a risk score in the form of a numerical reading, along with performing a holistic qualitative review of projects, the resources, the strategic objectives of our clients and applicable laws.

Case Defense File Management

Detailed records of all IC engagements are maintained in secure defense files providing a detailed audit trail.

Payroll Service Options

Bartech classifies IC applicants who fail to provide evidence required to satisfy audits and cannot cure the deficiencies as W-2 payrolled workers. We offer these services directly, or in partnership with our clients’ preferred provider.
