Misclassification

What is it?

In services procurement, misclassification occurs when a worker’s role in a services engagement is recorded incorrectly. A common example is when a worker is treated as a contractor despite operating under conditions expected of an employee.

Why is it important?

The implications of misclassification are significant. Getting a worker’s status wrong can expose an organisation to legal challenges, financial penalties and severe reputational damage. Clear governance and a strong process in services procurement is critical to preventing these issues.
