Approving Contractors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Onboarding

In this video, I walk you through the contractor onboarding process, where you'll invite contractors to complete their onboarding in our system. Once they finish, you'll receive an email notification, allowing you to review their uploaded documents, such as public liability and workers' compensation. It's crucial to vet these contractors thoroughly before marking them as approved. Additionally, if any documents are missing, you can add notes to their profile, which will prompt them to upload the necessary information. Please ensure you follow this process to maintain compliance and safety standards.
