Offboarding a contractor via the HR platform

Available for the following HR plans: Premium, Platinum
Available for the following User Access level: Admin    

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.
