Inviting contractors to join your HR platform

Overview

The last step an administrator needs to do in order for their contractors to use the platform is to send them an invitation to join Employment Hero. When accessing your contractor list, you can choose to send invitations in bulk to all pending contractors or you can resend an invitation to a specific user.

Warning

The initial invitation to join the HR platform expires within 72 hours. You can use the resend feature to generate a new invitation for those contractors who could not activate their account within this timeframe.

Important

Resending an invitation is only available for contractors whose status shows as pending. So if you have contractors whose status shows as active, they will need to reset their password. To read further details on how a contractor can reset their password, refer to the following article.

So you have now invited a contractor to join your HR platform and you are now wondering what next can I do. There are two recommendations I would make on this front and they are:

HR Contractor File: Contractor details This feature is where you can view and, if needed, update a contractor's details, such as their trading name, email and phone number.
HR Contractor File: Job details This feature is where you can view and, if needed, update a contractor's job information, such as their title, assigned team and their company phone and email.
