How employment contracts work

When you mark an applicant as hired, Sebairo generates an employment contract and sends it to the candidate in a private one-to-one chat. The contract is built from the job post — the company, the position, the employment type, the workplace arrangement, and the salary from the job's salary details.

A contract can be sent, signed, approved, declined or withdrawn. The candidate signs by typing their full name — only the candidate can sign — or declines. Your side approves a signed contract, or withdraws the offer.

You can edit the contract's text and salary while it is still sent. Once the candidate signs, both are fixed.

What approval does

Approving a signed contract is the step that puts the hire into effect:

• The person joins your workspace as a member.
• The team chat welcomes them.
• An onboarding project and tasks may be created for them.
• Their employee record becomes active, with the salary from the contract.

If a candidate signed and nothing has happened yet, the contract is waiting for your approval.

The contract record is visible to the candidate and to the workspace's admins and HR managers — ordinary members cannot see it. You can withdraw a contract before or after signature, but not after approval.
