Executive One-Pager: Should We Convert Our Contingent Workforce?

The CFO-ready page: the question, the four-way numbers, the risk checkpoints, and the recommendation line, built to be filled from the workbook and walked into a leadership meeting.

XLSXStep 1

Model the Cost

The Contingent Labor Cost and Conversion Workbook with its own Start Here: the four-way model, program rollup across pay bands, burden builder, and scenario compare.

XLSXStep 2

The Temp-to-Hire and Direct-Placement Decision Workbook with its own Start Here: three first-year paths, the declining buyout schedule, and the portfolio view.

PDFStep 3

Check the Classification Risk

The Independent Contractor Classification and Risk Kit: the decision guide, the per-worker questionnaire with a risk read, the 1099-versus-W2 model, and the IC agreement and SOW templates.

DOCXStep 4

Fix the Agency Terms

The Staffing Agency Management Kit: the markup benchmark reference, the agency scorecard workbook, the partner agreement and rules of engagement, and the contingent workforce policy.

How it works

The sequence the Start Here runs

Cost first, then path, then risk, then terms. Each step feeds the next, and the one-pager collects the answer.

STEP 01

Model the cost

The conversion workbook prices the program four ways on your rates and produces the annual savings figure the rest of the kit tests.

STEP 02

Decide the hiring path

For the roles worth converting, the decision workbook prices direct hire, temp-to-hire, and direct placement, and reads the buyout schedule.

STEP 03

Check the classification risk

Before any conversion touches 1099 status, the risk kit walks the three tests and scores each worker, with counsel checkpoints marked.

STEP 04

Fix the agency terms

For the roles that stay contingent, the management kit resets the agreement, the scorecard, and the markup conversation.

The standard

Built as a system, deduplicated as one

A bundle of overlapping files makes the buyer reconcile the overlap. This kit ships the burden model and the tenure-cap language once, where each belongs, and sequences the rest.

The rule behind thisWhat contingent labor costs
The cost question, the risk question, and the vendor question are one decision wearing three hats. The kit treats them that way.
One sequence, stated. The top-level Start Here runs the four products in decision order, so the kit works like a method rather than a folder of downloads.
The one-pager only this kit carries. The executive summary page distills the four-way numbers and the risk checkpoints into the recommendation a leadership meeting can act on.
Every default sourced. The workbooks date their assumptions; the guides date their rules and tests. Nothing asks to be taken on faith.
Counsel checkpoints preserved. The classification and agency files keep every legal-review marker they carry standalone.

Where the kit routes to counsel

The cost models are yours to run. These belong with qualified employment counsel, and the kit marks each.

Any review or high classification read Converting anyone to 1099 status The partner agreement before signature Long-tenure workers integrated like employees
Is this for you

Who it is built for

Who this fits, and where to go if that is not you.

Built for

  • An operator or HR lead who owns the whole contingent question: the spend, the risk, and the vendors.
  • A finance leader who wants the conversion case, tested and documented, not a consulting engagement.
  • A consultant running a contingent workforce review for a client and keeping the work as the deliverable.

Questions

Before you buy

What exactly is in the kit?
Everything in the four standalone products, each with its own Start Here, sequenced by a top-level Start Here, plus the executive one-pager that only this kit carries. The license and the Google Sheets guide ship once at the top level.
How is the $149 price set against buying separately?
The four products run $196 bought separately: $39, $29, $69, and $59. The kit is $149, and the one-pager and top-level sequence exist only here.
Are the files identical to the standalone products?
Yes, byte for byte. Buying the kit is buying the same certified files in one sequenced download; nothing is abridged.
Is this legal advice?
The cost workbooks are planning models. The classification and agency files are general information with counsel checkpoints marked, and classification decisions and agreements should be reviewed by qualified employment counsel before you act.
Is it a subscription?
No. One-time purchase, instant download, no recurring fee. You keep the files.
Will it stay current as the rules change?
Each file carries a last-reviewed date so you can see how current it is, and meaningful updates are released as the rules and figures change.
What is the refund policy?
Digital products are covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee. See the refund policy for the full terms.
What happens after I buy?
Checkout delivers an instant download link, and a receipt with the same link arrives by email. Open the top-level Start Here first; it sequences the whole bundle. Questions or want a hand getting set up? Email support@truestephr.com.
Can I expense this purchase to my business?
Most customers buy TrueStep HR tools for business use, and a tool you use for work often qualifies as a deductible business expense. Whether it does for you depends on your situation, so confirm with your accountant. Your receipt arrives by email at checkout and works as documentation.
