Frequently Asked Questions
How does Lead & Gain support independent contractor onboarding?
Lead & Gain centralizes all required documentation – W-9s, COIs, tax forms, and agreements – making onboarding faster and more consistent across contractors and states. Contractors complete everything through a guided workflow, while recruitment firms gain full visibility into what’s complete or outstanding. This eliminates manual follow-ups and reduces onboarding times significantly.
Can Lead & Gain handle payroll for contractors working in multiple states?
Yes. Our automated payroll workflows are built to support contractors across different states and tax requirements. The system calculates payouts accurately, ensures consistency across pay cycles, and helps agencies avoid compliance issues tied to multi-state regulations. Contractors receive predictable payments without delays.
Does Lead & Gain manage W-9 collection and 1099 filings?
Yes. W-9s are collected and validated during onboarding, stored securely, and kept updated throughout the year, reducing the administrative burden on your team. Contractors receive timely tax statements without any manual intervention from your staff.
What kind of support can recruitment agencies expect from Lead & Gain?
Agencies have access to responsive support from real compliance and payroll experts – not outsourced call centers. Whether you need help with contractor documentation, payment questions, or regulatory guidance, our team provides clear, reliable answers. This ensures smooth operations even during peak hiring seasons.
What self-bill options are available for contractors?
Contractors have the ability to opt in or out of self-billing. Opting in reduces manual invoice submission and ensures the fastest possible payments to contractors. Self-bills are generated on the contractors behalf automatically from our platform once the related timesheet or expense report is ready to be paid.
