Dismiss and rehire contractors

1. Click the People section and select Team members.
2. Search the contractor's name.
   • You can see a list of all contractors by clicking the filter icon, selecting contractors only, and then clicking Apply.
3. Click your contractor's name.
4. From the Contractor Details tab, scroll to the "Work" headline, and click x Dismiss. 
5. Enter an end date.

The contractor will be removed from the account as an active worker. Inactive contractors will still have unlimited access to their Gusto account to view their historical payments and any forms filed by Gusto.

• Note: You'll only be charged for contractors in the month(s) you pay them–the per contractor price will either be $6 per contractor or $12 per contractor, depending on your Gusto plan type.

If you're looking to change a contractor to an employee, follow the steps in this article.

1. Click the People section and select Team members. 
2. Toggle to the Dismissed tab.
3. Click a dismissed contractor to view their details.

If you need to reactivate your inactive contractor, follow the steps in the dropdown below. 

If you have rehired your contractor or would like to process a payment for an inactive contractor, reactive them by using the following steps.

1. Go to the People section and select Team members.
2. Toggle to the Dismissed tab.
3. Click your inactive contractor's name.
4. Scroll to find the + Rehire link.
5. Enter a start date.
6. Click Save.

Your contractor will be added back to the list of active team members. You can now pay this contractor by clicking on the Payroll section and selecting Pay Contractors.

If you need to dismiss the contractor again, you can do so at anytime after you've processed a payment (or reported a historical payment).
