Connect HiBob to worker onboarding, hours, and contractor pay

This guide connects selected HiBob contractor records and approved time with Wingspan worker records and assignments. Wingspan tracks onboarding checks and payables. Finance approves payment separately, and readiness and payment status flow back to HiBob. W-2 pay uses employee payroll with withholding.

    Engagement Template and Assignment (Payee Engagement)

Choose which records sync and when they move. Your team stays in control of work review and payment approval.

Separate contractor compliance from employee records

Wingspan tracks contractor checks such as Form W-9, tax ID checks, and required insurance. Readiness status updates HiBob custom fields, so your team sees which assignment checks still need review. Readiness applies to the selected assignment.

Turn approved hours into verified contractor bills

Approved contractor hours fill Wingspan work logs. Agreed rates set the amount. Approving a log creates one amount owed. The contractor sees an invoice. Your team sees a payable. Finance gives separate payment approval. Your team spends less time copying hours.

Track payment status with clear access rules

Workers add payment details and tax forms in Wingspan. Payment dates and bank references sync to selected HiBob fields so your team can track progress. Deposit confirmation means the sending bank finished processing. It does not prove the receiving bank posted funds. Set access for any sensitive worker data your team shares.

How HiBob works with Wingspan

HiBob tracks worker profiles, time, and job details. Wingspan manages worker records, checks, and pay. Each worker record is called a payee. Worker types include Contractor and W-2.

This guide follows selected contractor records from HiBob into Wingspan. An engagement is a reusable work template. Each assignment links one worker to it and tracks the required checks. Creating a worker record and sending an invite are separate steps. W-2 workers use employee onboarding and payroll with withholding.

Approved contractor hours fill Wingspan work logs. Agreed rates set the amount. Approving a log creates one amount owed, shown as an invoice to the contractor and a payable to your team. Finance gives separate payment approval.

HiBob receives assignment readiness and payment status. Deposit confirmation means the sending bank finished processing. It does not prove the worker's bank posted funds.

Plan your integration

Select profiles and keep worker types clear

Select the HiBob profiles for this contractor workflow and keep each worker's type clear. Contractor work uses payables and 1099 reporting. W-2 workers use employee payroll and pay statements with withholding. Readiness applies to each assignment.

Tax identity and bank credential safety

Workers submit tax forms and bank details in Wingspan. Select the check status, payment references, and other fields your HiBob team needs. Set access for sensitive fields and documents before sharing them.

Separation of time review and payment sign-off

Checking work hours is not approving pay. A lead signing off on hours in HiBob confirms that work took place. That sign-off does not release funds. In Wingspan, approved hours turn into bills. Finance gives a separate sign-off before pay goes out.

How the worker lifecycle fits

Connect worker records from hire to pay. Choose the Contractor or W-2 type and keep the right checks for each.

Workers and worker types
Selected HiBob contractor profiles supply Wingspan worker records. Creating a record and sending an invite are separate steps. W-2 workers follow their own payroll path.
Engagements and assignments
Work details in HiBob set up work templates in Wingspan. These templates define agreed rates and checks. Worker jobs map to assignments under a template. One worker can have several jobs.
Requirements and eligibility
Wingspan tracks required checks on work templates and jobs. These include W-9 forms and insurance checks. Wingspan sends status back to HiBob. Passing checks on one job does not clear a worker for all jobs.
Work logs and approved work
Approved contractor hours fill Wingspan work logs. Approving a log creates one amount owed. The contractor sees an invoice. Your team sees a payable.
Payables
Approved contractor bills show what you owe for finished work. Wingspan applies your agreed rates to set the bill total. The worker sees an invoice for the same bill. A manager approving hours is not approving pay. Finance must approve the bill before it enters a pay run.
Client invoices
Client jobs and client bills stay separate in Wingspan or your books. Getting paid by a client does not release worker pay on its own.
Payments and payouts
Wingspan pays contractors through pay runs. It sends pay dates and bank confirmation codes to HiBob fields. Deposit confirmation means the sending bank finished its work. That is not proof the receiving bank posted funds.
Tax forms and reporting
HiBob handles employee reports. Wingspan handles contractor tax files and e-files 1099-NEC forms with the IRS. W-2 tax forms stay separate from contractor 1099 forms.
