Classifi.

Your subs are your biggest liability. We help you prove otherwise.

Construction is the #1 industry flagged in worker status audits. Classifi gives general contractors and trades business owners the documentation to support every relationship — before the agency letter arrives.

Why construction gets audited first

The agency isn't guessing. They know where to look.

The ABC test is nearly impossible to pass

In most states, a worker is presumed an employee unless you can prove all three prongs of the ABC test. Construction relationships almost never satisfy prong B — that the work is outside your usual business.

Seasonal and rotating crews raise red flags

Agencies look for patterns: same workers, project after project, paid as 1099. It reads as an employment relationship regardless of what your contracts say.

Multi-sub arrangements offer no protection

Hiring through another sub doesn’t transfer your liability. If the agency determines the workers are yours, you’re the responsible party — even if you never issued a 1099 directly.

One packet. Every contractor. Audit-ready.

When an auditor asks for documentation, you need more than a contract. Classifi assembles the full file — W-9, invoices, proof of independence, and a classification memo — for every engagement.
