Team Management

Add team members and subcontractors to your company

Overview

As your business grows, you need help. BlueClerk lets you add team members (employees) and subcontractors (independent workers) to handle more jobs. Each person gets their own login and can be assigned work.

Team Members vs. Subcontractors

Team Members

  • Employees who work for your company
  • Full access to company features (based on role)
  • Show up in your team list
  • Can be Admins or Members

Subcontractors

  • Independent contractors you work with
  • Added to your "Workforce Roster"
  • Can be assigned jobs
  • May have their own BlueClerk profile
