There will be instances where a contractor agreement has ended with your organization, and they will need to be off-boarded from Employment Hero. When you undertake this option, you can specify the reason for this action and the date this occurred. If required, you can also delete a contractor file from Employment Hero if you added them in error.

Warning

Deleting a contractor from Employment Hero will remove their data, which means there is no record kept for auditing purposes. We recommend this step only if there is a duplicate contractor file and/or their details show as pending, meaning the contractor has not yet signed into Employment Hero.
