Navigator IC: Defensible Contractor Classification at Scale

Replace 7 to 8 Hours of Attorney Review with a 20-Minute Self-Service Assessment 

Every time your team engages a contractor, a classification question follows. Under federal law, state law, or both? Which test applies? What happens if you get it wrong? Traditional contractor classification analysis routes that question to Legal, sits in a queue, and comes back days later. Navigator Independent Contractor replaces that bottleneck with a guided digital questionnaire that captures your specific fact pattern and evaluates it against all applicable federal and state criteria, instantly. 

The output is not just an answer. It is a quantified risk report with a documented transcript of the analysis, actionable steps to reduce misclassification risk, and a defensible record of how your team reached its decision. 

  • Unbiased, Standards-Based Analysis: Each contractor engagement is assessed against distinct federal and state criteria, removing personal bias and ensuring your classification decisions are consistent, repeatable, and legally grounded. 

  • 1,900 Court Decisions and DOL Opinion Letters: Navigator IC draws from a proprietary engine built on reported case law and DOL guidance, giving your team the depth of analysis that outside counsel would provide at a fraction of the cost. 

  • 90% Reduction in Time and Cost: Replace hours of attorney review with a 20-minute self-service evaluation. For organizations managing dozens or hundreds of contractor relationships, the time and cost savings compound quickly. 

Simple, intuitive contractor classification software.

  • The Littler Advantage

Eliminate the Guesswork That Creates Legal Exposure 

Every time your HR team answers a compliance question from memory or a Google search, you're creating risk. ComplianceHR replaces that guesswork with on-demand, jurisdiction-specific guidance backed by Littler Mendelson's continuously updated legal intelligence. The result: every workforce decision comes with a defensible rationale—before your team acts on it.

Scale Your Workforce Without Scaling Your Legal Team 

Adding headcount in a new state shouldn't mean adding a legal retainer. ComplianceHR integrates into your existing HR workflows, giving site-level managers and HR generalists access to the same quality of guidance your legal team would provide—at a fraction of the cost and none of the delay. Go from one location to fifty without losing compliance continuity.

Replace 10 Conflicting Sources with One Verified Answer 

Information chaos is the root cause of most HR compliance failures. When HR pulls guidance from one source, Legal from another, and managers from outdated training docs, conflicting decisions follow. ComplianceHR gives every stakeholder—HR, Legal, and Operations—access to the same Littler-authored database, so your workforce decisions are consistent, current, and defensible across the org.

The Gold Standard in Employment Law

ComplianceHR is the only HR compliance software authored and continuously maintained by Littler Mendelson—the world's leading employment law firm. That means every answer your team gets isn't drawn from a crowdsourced legal database or an algorithm trained on public filings.
