Offboarding a contractor from your HR platform

Jimmy
Updated

Overview

There will be instances where a contractor agreement has ended with your organisation and they will need to be off-boarded from your platform. 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 your platform if you added them in error.

Warning

Deleting a contractor from your platform 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 the HR platform.

Availability

HR Plan:   Premium   Platinum
 User Access:   Contractor   Manager   Admin

  This is the default access level, excluding any changes made via our Custom Security feature.

So you have now offboarded a contractor from 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: Assets This feature is where you can check their assigned assets and see if there are any they will need to return before they leave your business.
  • My tasks: This feature is where you will find any off-boarding tasks your organisation may have assigned to you and that they require you to complete as part of your organisations off-boarding process.
