When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form AREV-2026-000
- You are running the Contractor Onboarding and Management programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links vendor, worker
Not for
- Contractor Demobilization Record, which records that a contractor has fully left site, with equipment removed, waste cleared and the area restored.
- Contractor Final Evaluation, which evaluates the contractor's overall performance at the end of the engagement.
- Anything outside KnowContractor, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
