The independent workforce is growing three times faster than traditional employment in the US as more businesses hire freelancers to stay competitive and adaptable. However, hiring independent contractors comes with potential risks, especially as regulations become more stringent.

To address these concerns, Atrium offers an IC Compliance solution that simplifies freelancer risk management. By serving as the Agent of Record, we evaluate against federal and state guidelines, provide indemnification against audits by the Department of Labor, and offer cost savings. Our Engagent™ platform offers comprehensive compliance management, making it easier for businesses to navigate the complexities of the gig economy.
