How to onboard contractors under the Horizons entity?

When onboarding contractors under the Horizons entity, our platform simplifies the process from start to finish. You can manage documentation, payments, agreements, and contractor details all in one place, streamlining setup for both you and your contractors.

Follow the steps below to onboard a contractor quickly and efficiently using Horizons as the legal contracting entity.

Enter Contractor Details

Go to the New Hire tab in the Horizons platform and select Hire under Contractor.

Enter your contractor’s details, including:

Hiring country
Number of Contractors

Select Continue To Hire when completed.

Continue by adding the Contractors name and click Next.

Add the Job Details, Compensation, and Contractual Terms. Continue by clicking Next.

An automated draft of the contractor agreement will be created for you. Simply review the draft and click Approve to continue.
Do you have any questions or would like to request changes? No problem, simply click "Request Changes".

Once the contractor agreement is approved by you, you are asked to provide the email address of the contractor and invite the contractor to the Horizons platform by clicking Send.

The contractor will receive an email notification to activate their account on the Horizons Platform and sign the agreement.

Final Step: Contractor Registration and Billing Group Assignment

During registration, the contractor will be asked to provide:

Full name and nationality
Passport details (including a copy for verification)
Residential address (with a residence certificate for verification)
Bank account information
A personal statement authorizing them to perform contract work in their country of residence

Once their information is submitted, the contractor will be prompted to sign the final Contractor Agreement directly on the platform. Horizons will then countersign the agreement to complete the legal onboarding.

After the contractor completes their registration, you will receive an email from Horizons with the subject:
"Action Needed: Set Billing Group for Contractor"
Follow the instructions in the email to assign the appropriate billing group or review what billing groups are in this article: What is Billing Group referring to? : Horizons Help Center (joinhorizons.com)

This completes the contractor onboarding process, your contractor is now ready to begin work, and payments can be managed directly through the Horizons platform.
