Our expert opportunities are structured as independent contractor engagements. Contractors who meet applicable reporting requirements will generally receive a Form 1099-NEC rather than a Form W-2. Experts are responsible for managing their own federal, state, and local tax obligations.

No. Because these opportunities are independent contractor engagements, they do not include employee benefits such as health insurance, paid time off, retirement plans, unemployment benefits, or other benefits generally associated with W-2 employment.

The specific amount, payment structure, scope, expected deliverables, and payment schedule will be communicated before an expert accepts an engagement. Depending on the project, compensation may be based on an agreed project fee, milestone, deliverable, consulting rate, or another structure documented in the project agreement.

No fixed number of weekly hours is guaranteed unless this is expressly stated in the applicable project agreement or Statement of Work. The anticipated time commitment may vary according to the scope, duration, and requirements of each project. Available information about expected workload will be communicated before acceptance.

When a project requires access to a specific platform, system, database, or client-provided resource, the applicable access arrangements will be explained separately.

Experts generally manage their own working schedules and methods, subject to agreed deadlines, deliverables, scheduled meetings, client availability, confidentiality requirements, compliance requirements, and other terms included in the project agreement. Each expert is responsible for completing accepted work accurately, professionally, and within the agreed timeline.
