Case Study: Rainforest avoids contractor misclassification and simplifies global payments with Skuad

How Skuad helped Rainforest avoid misclassification of contractors and handle payments in multiple currencies

Rainforest, a Singapore-based e-commerce retail company, sought to globally hire contractors but faced significant challenges with compliance, particularly the risk of contractor misclassification, and the complexity of processing payments in multiple currencies. They partnered with Skuad to overcome these obstacles.

Skuad's solution involved creating compliant contractor agreements that shielded Rainforest from liability and managing all associated payroll and compliance processes. They efficiently handled multi-currency payments for contractors and consolidated invoicing, requiring only a single monthly payment from the client. As a result, Skuad enabled Rainforest to onboard 30 contractors across 12 countries in a cost-effective and compliant manner, while also reducing the company's global time-to-hire.
