How to complete it

  1. Identify the contractor, project and person coordinating the start.

  3. Review and download the checklist with a free account. Revisit it with the contractor as the remaining tasks are completed.

Before you begin

Does checking a box send a document or create an account?

No. The checklist records your progress. It does not request signatures, collect a W-9 or provision access automatically.

Does this determine worker classification?

No. This is an organizational checklist, not a determination of employment status or a substitute for an agreement.

Can I collect signatures from someone else?

PearSign’s signing workspace lets you prepare documents and request signatures. Explore the client fill-out forms product for reusable collection workflows.
