Confirm an assignment

How to confirm an assignment?

Written by David William

Congratulations! 🎉 You’ve successfully created a new assignment and completed the initial steps. (If you haven’t yet, check out this article first.)

The next step is to confirm the assignment. This is crucial, because only after confirmation will WorkFlex begin preparing your compliance documents (such as A1/CoC, Assignment Letter, Tax Briefing, and any other documents included in your contract).

During confirmation, you’ll also have the option to request referrals for additional services from our trusted partner network. If you’re not ready yet, don’t worry—you can always do this later.

If you have any questions, your CSM will be happy to support you.

Why confirmation matters

Assignments that remain in the “Exploration” stage are not yet confirmed. Without confirmation, document creation cannot start. To help you stay compliant, we’ll also send you reminders via email.

How to confirm an assignment

1. Open the assignment

  • Go to the assignment you’d like to confirm. The request pop-up opens.

  • In the Assignment phase card, click Actions and select Confirm assignment.

​

​

2. Complete the required information

  • Select the employee from the drop-down menu, or click Invite to WorkFlex to add a new employee.

  • Choose through which payroll the salary will be paid during the assignment and who will economically bear the assignment cost. Both are required.

  • Fill in any other missing details, for example the social security country, the residential address during the assignment and the contractual setup in the home and host country.

  • Enter the passport number. While this is not mandatory, we recommend uploading the passport to the employee’s Document center for easier processing.

  • All information entered will be saved in the employee profile and will be taken into account when determining the correct compliance documents for business trips during assignments, provided that all relevant solutions are used within the WorkFlex platform.

​

​

  • Double-check or enter the correct start and end dates in the “Trip details” section—these dates are used for compliance documents, so accuracy is key.

​

​

3. (Optional) Add additional services

  • If you’d like support with relocation, tax, or other local services, tick the services you need and click Add to assignment. Our vendor management team connects you with pre-vetted vendors within 24 hours.

  • Already have partners? Click Skip.

  • You can also request services later via Actions > Manage vendor services or the assignment chat.

  • The summary on the right explains how it works and what to expect in terms of pricing. There are no extra costs at this stage.

​

​

​

​

4. Review and confirm

  • A summary screen will show all details you’ve entered.

  • If everything looks correct, tick the confirmation box and click Confirm.

​

​

What happens next

  • WorkFlex will begin processing your compliance documents (if you agreed per contract). You’ll receive a notification via email once they are uploaded.

  • If you requested additional services, the WorkFlex team will reach out to you directly, so please keep an eye on your email.
