Setting up a separate Onboarding process for Contractors
Contractors will usually invoice your business directly and are therefore not required to provide any payroll information to you.
Please note: All users added into Flare are required to complete an Onboarding process to set up their profile in Flare. You will need to set up a process specifically for your Contractors to complete.
