For direct employees on Borderless HR, users with HR permissions edit the Job and Costs tabs. For EOR employees, book a call with their HR manager to request the change.

You can change a direct employee's job details and pay yourself if the employee is on the free Borderless HR plan and you have HR permissions. You can apply a change straight away or from a future date. For EOR employees, Outstaffer is the employer, so the edit icons don't appear: ask Outstaffer to make the change instead (see the end of this article).

Change job details

  1. Open the employee's Job tab. Go to People > Staff, click the employee, then open the Job tab.

  2. Edit Role information. Click the pencil icon on the Role information card. You can change the Hiring status, Job title, Job description and Work Schedule. For a set schedule, choose Set schedule and enter the Schedule start and Schedule end times, which are in your company's time zone.

  3. Choose the Effective date. Leave it as today to apply the change now, or pick a later date to schedule it.

  4. Click Save. You'll see Role information updated, or Role change scheduled for the date you picked.

To change the probation end date, click the pencil icon on the Employment information card, update Probation end date and click Save.

To change the start date, click the pencil icon on the panel on the right of the profile. In Edit employee's other information, update Start date and click Save. We recommend a start date at least two weeks from today.

Change pay

  1. Open the employee's Costs tab.

  2. Edit compensation. Click the pencil icon on the Compensation card. In Edit employee's compensation details, update the Monthly base salary, Remote work expenses, Other allowances, Employee engagement fund or Commission.

  3. Choose the Effective date. Leave it as today to apply the change now, or pick a later date.

  4. Click Save. You'll see Compensation saved, or Compensation change scheduled for the date you picked.

To change health insurance or add-ons, click the pencil icon on the Benefits card, make your changes in Edit benefits, choose the Effective date and click Save.

EOR employees

You can't edit an EOR employee's job details, pay, benefits or start date. To request a change, open the employee's profile and click Book a call on the HR manager card on the right, or contact Outstaffer support.

Good to know

  • Only one future change can be waiting for each card. Scheduling another one for the same card replaces it. Saving a change with today's date also cancels any change waiting for that card.

  • Future changes can only be booked for active employees. See How to View or Cancel a Scheduled Change.

  • The signing bonus and other bonuses show on the Compensation card but can't be edited there. Contact Outstaffer support to change them.

  • Account Owner and Hiring Manager users without HR permissions can't change job details or pay, but can change who the employee is Managed by and their Group.
