Can you make an existing employee a contractor?

Hi there, @cougar6620. I've got the steps on how to transition your employee to a contractor.

First, you'll have to change the employee's status to Terminated. Follow these steps:

1. Click the Employees tab, and find the employee to be terminated.
2. Click the employee's current status.
3. Under Employment, select Terminated from the Status drop-down list.
4. Optionally, click the date icon to select the employee's last day of Active status.
5. Click Save.

Once done, you can proceed by adding a contractor. 

1. Go to Employees/ Workers in the left navigation bar.
2. Select Contractors.
3. Click the Add a contractor button at the upper right side.
4. Enter the Name and Email address.
5. Make sure to check the box to email contractors, so they can complete their profile and get their own account to safely share their personal details.
6. Click Add contractor.
