How Figma saved $1.8M by fixing contractor compliance
Figma turned contractor misclassification risk into a strategic advantage — using Vectis to protect the business and unify global workforce management.
Hidden contractor liability across 19 markets
Figma's rapid international growth created a sprawling contractor workforce operating under inconsistent agreements — exposing the company to significant misclassification liability in key markets.
- 60+ contractors with inconsistent, high-risk agreements
- Misclassification exposure in Germany, France, and Australia
- No unified payment system for global contractor invoices
- Finance team spending 20+ hours/month reconciling payments
Proactive risk remediation and unified management
Vectis conducted a full workforce audit, remediated high-risk engagements, and placed all workers on a unified platform — eliminating the compliance liability while simplifying operations.
- Full contractor classification audit across 19 countries
- Conversion of high-risk contractors to EOR employees
- Compliant contractor agreements for remaining workforce
- Automated global payment processing in local currencies
"From contractors to full employees, Vectis manages all our international workforce in one place. The platform is incredibly intuitive and the compliance savings have been enormous."
From hidden risk to full compliance in 90 days
Figma had 60+ contractors across 19 countries with inconsistent contracts, unclear classification status, and no central visibility into exposure.
Vectis conducted a full contractor classification audit across all 19 markets, identifying 23 high-risk engagements requiring immediate remediation.
23 contractors were converted to EOR employees, and 40+ remaining contractors were placed on compliant Vectis contractor agreements.
Figma manages all international workers — contractors and employees — from one platform with automated compliance and payment processing.
