Edits to Submitted Assignment Requests

How to edit assignment requests that have already been submitted, and what happens to documents that are already prepared.

Written by David William

At WorkFlex, we know that assignment details often evolve, especially in the early planning phase. Our goal is to give you flexibility to make changes while ensuring compliance.

This article explains:

  • how edits work after submission

  • how document uploads and chat-based changes are handled


How to edit an already submitted assignment

To update an assignment request:

  1. Open the assignment in Employee requests > Assignments.

  2. Click Actions > Update assignment details.

  3. Edit the relevant assignment details.

All previously entered information will be pre-filled, so you don’t need to re-enter data.

Important: Document preparation starts immediately after an assignment is submitted. If changes are requested after documents have already been uploaded, new documents must be created.

​

Simple edits

You can make the following simple changes:

  • Add trip dates if you initially provided only the duration.

  • Add the employee's name after the initial submission.

These updates won’t affect compliance evaluations.

Significant changes: new compliance documents required

If you make significant changes to the assignment, such as altering multiple variables or changing the destination country, it will impact the compliance evaluation. In such cases, we’ll treat the request as a new assignment and prepare updated documents.

Note: Document preparation begins immediately after an assignment request is submitted.


Changes communicated via chat

Please be aware that instructions sent via chat have the same impact as changes made through the platform. This applies only to assignment requests.

If a document has already been uploaded and you request changes via chat:

  • the document must be reworked or recreated
