Accepting a Contract
When a client offers you a contract on Worksome, you will need to review and accept it before work can begin. This article explains the process, including how to accept contract changes and what to do if you cannot accept.
How to Accept a New Contract
You will receive a notification (email and/or in-platform) when a client offers you a contract.
Go to Contracts page and click on the contract title to see the details:
Review the contract details: job title, rate, dates, scope of work, and payment terms.
Sign the contract by entering your name in the designated field.
Check the box to accept the Terms & Conditions.
Click Accept Contract to finalize the process.
Accepting Contract Changes
If your client updates the terms of your contract (such as rate, dates, or scope), you will be able to review and accept the changes from the Contracts page. You will see a notification that contract changes are pending your review.
Contracts: Hire page for workers
The Contracts page gives you a single place to manage each engagement. It's visible once a hire reaches Offered status and is reachable from the dashboard, contracts table, email links, or the conversation page.
From there, you can:
Review contract details — timeframe, rate, engagement type, contact person, work location, and role description, plus a "View details" option to review and sign the full contract
Check employment/EOR status — if the engagement involves Worksome or an EOR partner, onboarding status shows here
Manage payments — once Active or Ended, workers can view totals, submit new payment requests, and file expense reports
Access documents — onboarding files, NDAs, and other paperwork in one place
Here is the detailed guide.
Troubleshooting: I Cannot Accept My Contract
Make sure to:
Set up your business entity (company type, registration details)
Add valid bank details for receiving payments
Complete any required tax forms or documents
Fill in any custom fields required by the client
Once all onboarding steps are marked as complete, you will be able to accept the contract from the Hire page.
Accept button is greyed out or missing
This may happen if:
Your client onboarding is incomplete (see above).
The contract has been withdrawn or terminated by the client.
There is a compliance requirement that needs to be completed first by your client
Your client hasn't accepted the status determination statement from Worksome classify yet (wait for your client to complete these)
Your client hasn't completed all internal approvals yet (wait for your client to complete these)- If you are unable to sign or tick the required boxes for a PAYE contract, follow the steps outlined in the PAYE Contracts section.
If none of these apply (you will see the details in a warning message on your contract page), contact Worksome support for assistance.
