Has the employee already signed their contract?
If the contract has not yet been signed, you do not need to submit a formal amendment request. Your assigned onboarding specialist can update the contract details (such as the start date) directly in the backend. Simply reach out to them with the change needed and they will apply it before sending the contract to the employee for signature.
The steps below apply only to contracts that have already been signed.
To make contractual changes for an employee, such as updating salary, modifying a job title, extending an agreement, or requesting another type of amendment, initiate the process through the Remote People platform.
Navigate to the People tab in the Remote People platform. Locate and click on the name of the employee for whom you would like to request a contractual change.
Click the Actions button in the upper-right corner.
From the dropdown menu, select Change Contract.
In the Amendment Type section, select the type of contractual change you would like to request:
Salary Increase – Enter the updated Annual Gross Income
Please note: Salary increases cannot be backdated and can only take effect from the 1st day of the following month due to payroll processing timelines.Job Title Change – Enter the employee’s new job title
Renewal – Enter the new contract End Date
Other – Provide a clear description of the requested change
1. Select the Effective Date for the amendment.
Please note:
Job Title Changes can take effect as early as the next calendar day
Salary Increases must take effect from the 1st day of the following month
2. After completing all required fields, click Continue.
3. Review the information carefully on the summary page, then click Submit to send your request.
Once submitted, our specialist team will review the request and prepare the contract amendment. You will be able to review and approve the amendment before it is sent to the employee for signature.
Managerial Review Considerations: Managerial review of contract amendments is not automatic within the platform. If managerial input is required, you should share the amendment details with the manager directly to ensure alignment and approval before finalizing the changes.
