This well-know global technology company grappled with the task of precisely categorising over 150 Independent Contractors worldwide to comply with UK legislation, necessitatingaccurate classification within its vast network of directly engaged contract workers.
The collaboration between CXC and the company resulted in the successful implementation and launch of the IR35 module within a 12-week sprint.
This technology company faced a significant challenge concerning its extensive network of contract workers situated around the globe, a majority of whom were directly engaged and identified by the company.
Within the scope of UK legislation, the company urgently needed to accurately classify all Independent Contractors for IR35 compliance. This entailed correctly determining the employment status of over 150 Independent Contractors.
To address this challenge, CXC assembled a dedicated team for project delivery and IT development. Their task was to construct and configure a dedicated IR35 classification module tailored for the company’s needs. This module was seamlessly integrated into CXC’s Independent Contractor Classification Platform – CXC Comply.
The collaboration between CXC and the company resulted in the successful implementation and launch of the IR35 module within a 12-week sprint. This endeavour involved close coordination with stakeholders from various departments within the company, including Finance, Legal, Technology, and Operations. In February 2021, the platform went live, with CXC’s Support and Account Team Members equipped with company-approved tools and equipment.
To ensure the successful uptake of the new system, CXC devised a comprehensive plan encompassing communication, training, and escalation procedures for all relevant stakeholders within the company. This was further bolstered by regular training sessions conducted by CXC on their platform, which facilitated a smooth transition for company personnel.
