How do I work, get paid and keep an auditable trail?

Connect Permission, Work, Payment and Proof

FIRST MOVETrace one work cycle from permission and agreement through delivery, payment and the record you keep.
ORIENTATION

Work systems fail where one party assumes another handled the permission, contract, payroll, invoice, currency or filing step. Give each join an owner and evidence.

01

Name the relationship

Employment and independent contracting need evidence from how the work actually operates, not the filename alone.

02

Separate registrations

Work permission, IE registration, Small Business Status and residence are not one approval.

03

Close monthly

Reconcile agreement, delivery, invoice/payslip, payment, rate evidence, filing and exceptions while context is fresh.

KEEP THE EVIDENCE
  • Permission or status decision relied upon
  • Signed agreement and counterparty identity
  • Delivery, invoice/payslip and receipt
  • Monthly workpaper and unresolved exceptions
KNOW THE BOUNDARY
  • An invoice does not prove delivery or status
  • A net salary promise needs a gross assumption
  • One registration does not authorize every activity
