Title
Employer of Record Contract Amendment and Offboarding
Article Text

This guide explains how to request a contract amendment or complete offboarding for an Employer of Record (EOR) employee in BambooHR. When EOR employee information is locked, BambooHR guides you through an embedded workflow that submits requests to Remote for review and approval. Once approved, updates automatically sync back to BambooHR.

Table of Contents

Who this is for

  • Account Owners, Full Admins, and custom access level users with EOR permissions at companies using BambooHR Employer of Record Powered by Remote.

Before you start

  • You must be an Account Owner, Full Admin, or a custom access level user with permission to manage Remote contracts in BambooHR and a Super Admin in Remote.
  • The employee you are amending or offboarding must be an EOR employee (employed via Remote).
  • Some fields are locked and cannot be edited directly in BambooHR.
  • For offboarding, confirm you are ready to begin a formal termination review with Remote.

Contract amendment

If you need to update locked information for an EOR employee, you will be directed to Remote, where you can request a contract amendment. After you submit a request, a Remote specialist will review it and either approve the request or let you know if they need more information. Once Remote has approved the request, updated data will sync to the appropriate field/table in BambooHR.

When the employee's Remote contract moves to an active status (through onboarding or a contract amendment), a new row will appear on the employee's Job Information table in BambooHR. In the new row, the following fields will autofill from the previous row: Department, Division, Reports To (Manager). You can edit this table in BambooHR if needed.

Please note, the initiation of a new contract/Statement of Work for a global contractor must take place in Remote.

Offboarding an EOR employee

Only the Account Owner, Full Admins, or a custom access level user with the permission to manage EOR employees can initiate a termination for an EOR employee. Even if a user has access to end employment for regular employees in BambooHR, they cannot offboard an EOR employee unless they have these permissions.

If you try to delete an EOR employee who has not been offboarded in Remote, the modal will include a warning explaining that they will be recreated in BambooHR during the next sync, since they are still an employee in Remote. You will see a button to offboard the employee instead.

To initiate the offboarding process for an EOR employee, navigate to their employee profile, click the three-dot menu, and select End Employment.

This action will pull up the offboarding overview modal, which introduces the EOR termination process. It informs you that you should not inform the employee of the termination and that Remote will lead communication with them after you submit the form. You will also see a Learn More link to additional information. Click Start Request to proceed to the four-step offboarding process.

1. Employee Communication

The first step is Employee Communication. Mark if the request is confidential (only visible to you), if you have informed the employee of the termination, and enter the employee's personal email (for post-termination communication from Remote).

2. Termination Details

The second step is to enter the termination details. Select the termination reason from the dropdown list. You can then add additional information to the text boxes under "Termination reason details" and "Additional details regarding this termination process." If needed, you can select Choose Files to upload any supporting documents regarding the termination reason.

3. Paid Time Off

The third step is to review the employee's paid time off information. You must pay the employee for any unused accrued paid time off, so please check these records carefully. Once you have reviewed and confirmed they are correct, select Yes under "Are these paid time off records correct?"

4. Additional Information

The final step explains what Remote will do next and what you still need to complete. Once you have read and understood, check the box next to "I agree to the procedures in this form."

Please note, the offboarding of a global contractor must take place in Remote.

What if I need to rehire an EOR employee?

To rehire an EOR employee, navigate to their profile, click the three-dot menu in the right-hand corner, and select Rehire Employee...

This opens a modal where you can select Rehire Globally, then Continue to continue through the Remote onboarding process.
