CEDX Contractors · People & HR

Contingent work,
in one ledger.

Contractors tracks the whole engagement: the SOW with its value and burn, the rate card with its market delta, the documents with their expiry, and the invoices with the rate they actually billed — 143 of them over card in the current view.

The compliance alert that matters most is two signals at once: an expired insurance document plus a misclassification pattern on the same engagement, priced at $42K. Either alone is paperwork. Together it is a decision.

What it is

SOWs, rate cards, and the documents between.

Every SOW shows its burn

Eighty-six statements of work with title, department, owner, value, burn percentage, headcount and end date per row. A migration-support SOW at $443K is 95% burned with seven heads on it; ten SOWs are in wind-down.

  • Burn ≥80% flagged: 12 SOWs
  • Statuses: Active · Closing · Draft · On hold
  • Values from $64K to $443K in view

Rate cards with a market delta

One hundred forty rate cards showing role band, country, type, bill rate and delta to market — a security engineer in Germany at $772 a day, 13% above. Forty-one cards are stale and flagged for refresh; sixty-two sit 5% or more over market.

  • Average bill $190 normalized
  • Stale cards flagged: 41

Compliance gaps scored, not suspected

Fifty-two scored gaps across the roster: insurance expired, documents past the renewal window, a 38-month engagement against a 24-month tenure policy, and misclassification signal clusters — each priced, from $42K to $120K.

  • 240 documents expiring or expired
  • Documents current: 74% of required
  • OT leakage $48K a year on a retainer SOW

01 — Overview

The contingent brief, leaks priced

Spend versus plan weekly, contingent health at 38, and the alerts that matter: 35 invoices pending AP at $329K past the three-day target, rate leakage at $2.18M across 101 outliers, tenure breach at $95K.

  • By department: Engineering 39 of 288
  • Contingent health composite: 38
  • 26 engagements ending inside the window

02 — SOWs

The book of work

Search by SOW code, title or owner across 86 statements of work. Launch readiness, migration support, audit support, peak-season surge — each with burn and end date, so a $231K SOW at 87% with a February end is a renewal conversation with a date on it.

  • $11.6M active value · $5.75M spent
  • Burn sortable per SOW
  • Headcount per SOW on the row

03 — Rates

The card, and what the market says

Rate cards by role band and country: a finance contractor in Japan at $785 a day, a PMO in Poland at $714 marked 13% over and stale. The delta column is where renegotiation starts.

  • 140 cards · hourly, daily and fixed-SOW types
  • Stale-only chip isolates the 41 to refresh
  • Effective dates per card

04 — Invoices

Where the card meets the bill

Two hundred forty invoices with SOW, period, hours, rate and amount per row — 35 pending AP, 45 disputed. The same contractor bills $772 an hour on three invoices against a $200 card rate; the screen puts them side by side.

  • 240 invoices · statuses to Disputed and Rejected
  • 143 billed over card rate
  • $419K paid in the sample

How it runs

An engagement's life, in the order it actually happens.

01

Engage

A statement of work opens with value, headcount and an end date — the burn clock and the tenure clock start together.

02

Document

Insurance and certifications are tracked to expiry: 74% current today, 240 documents in the renewal queue.

03

Invoice

Invoices arrive against the SOW and are checked against the card — 143 of 240 billed over card rate in the current view.

04

Renew or close

Burn past 80% and tenure past policy force the decision: 12 SOWs at the burn threshold, one engagement at 38 months against a 24-month policy.

One record

Contingent work sits
next to the roster, not in it.

Contractors reads the same commercial records the estate keeps — statements of work, invoices, approvals — beside the people record, not inside it.

Questions

Before you pilot Contractors.

Is the software on this page real?

Yes. Every screenshot is a capture of the running build and you can open the same build at /app/contractors. It runs on demo data, which the workspace labels on screen.

What is rate leakage?

The gap between billed rates and card rates, totalled: $2.18M across 101 outlier lines in the demo, with 143 of 240 invoices billing over card. The invoices screen shows the lines themselves.

What does the compliance score catch?

Signals, not verdicts: expired insurance, documents past their renewal window, overtime patterns on retainer SOWs, and engagements running past the tenure policy — 38 months against a 24-month limit in the demo alert.

How is SOW health read?

By burn and end date: 12 of 86 SOWs are burning at 80% or higher, 10 are in wind-down, and each row carries value, headcount and owner so the renewal conversation has a date.

Is Contractors audited or certified?

No certification has been issued. What we can evidence about hosting, encryption, tenant isolation and production access is written up on the security page.

The ledger is running. Go and look at it.

Live build, demo data, no card. Then check which of your own invoices is quietly billing over card.
