A focused app for contractors

Contractors (engineers, cleaners, door staff, and the like) get a simpler version of Paddl Assist built around what they need: keeping credentials current, signing documents, and seeing their jobs.

Getting invited and signing in

A business invites you by email. Open the link, set a password, and sign in. Your account is tied to your email, and your credentials are portable: if you work for more than one business on Paddl, the same credentials carry across, so you do not re-upload your insurance or licence for each one.

What is in the app

Credentials

The business sets what it needs (for example a licence number, an insurance certificate, or a signed policy). For each one you either enter a value or upload a file, then submit it for review. Each shows a status:

  • Approved: reviewed and accepted

  • Pending: submitted, waiting for the business to review

  • Rejected: not accepted; the reason is shown so you can fix and resubmit

  • Not submitted: still needed from you

The app warns you before a credential expires so you can renew it in time. Keeping them current matters, because an expired or missing required credential can stop you being assigned to work.

Documents and events

Documents are grouped into those needing your signature and those already signed; tap an unsigned one to sign it. Events shows the jobs you are assigned to, upcoming and past, with the date, time, location, and your role.

Activity and hours

The Activity tab shows your check-in history by day, with total hours and shift counts, and you can export it. Note that check-in and check-out are recorded by the venue, not entered by you.

Businesses manage their side of this under Team > Contractors, see Managing Contractors.
