Your providers' own subcontractors (tier 2)
A provider can add the businesses it brings with it. Each is checked against your requirements like anyone else, but isn't cleared until you approve it.

A provider on your register (tier 1) can add its own subcontractors (tier 2), such as labour hire or a specialist trade. Each tier 2 gets its own iComply profile, is on your register "via" the provider that added it, and is checked at the gate like anyone else, but isn't cleared until you approve it.
How a provider adds one
- Step 1: In their iComply account, they open Your subcontractors and choose your association.
- Step 2: They enter the Business name, Email and, if they like, Contact name and Trade, and select Invite them.
- Step 3: The tier 2 is invited by email. It follows the same category as the provider unless they choose another of yours.
How to approve or remove one
- Step 1: Open your register and select Their subcontractors. They're grouped by the provider that added them.
- Step 2: Change a tier 2's category if you need to (select Change).
- Step 3: Select Approve, or enter a reason (optional) and select Remove. Removing takes them off every site.
Settings (association admins)
- Providers can add their own subcontractors (two levels at most).
- Put approved ones on the sites their provider is on, when you approve them and whenever that provider goes on another site, so those sites' requirements apply.
- A provider isn't cleared while any of its approved subcontractors isn't. Off: the provider stays cleared and shows "1 of its subcontractors not cleared".
- Select Save settings.
What happens next
- You're emailed when a provider adds a tier 2 (notice kind Providers' own subcontractors). The provider and the tier 2 are told when you approve or remove it.
- A tier 2 waiting for approval isn't cleared; a removed one is red.
- A tier 2 can't add its own: two levels at most.
Limits
A provider can add up to 20 an hour. A business already on your register can't be added under someone.
The provider sees whether each of its subcontractors is cleared and what isn't met, never their documents, unless the tier 2 chooses to share them. Approvals and removals are in the audit log.
