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
- Match TazWorks applicant IDs to selected worker records. A screening applicant is not a worker by default. A payee is the worker record in Wingspan. Worker types include Contractor and W-2. Creating a worker and sending an invite are separate steps.
- Engagements and assignments
- A work template holds the shared rules for jobs. An assignment is one worker's job under that template. A worker check can serve several assignments. Screening packages give context for the checks on those jobs.
- Requirements and eligibility
- Order status and allowed report references link to selected worker checks. Screening packages give context for those checks. Your team sets the check rules in Wingspan. Report completion, search findings, and review decisions stay distinct. All required checks count toward readiness for the attached jobs.
- Work logs and approved work
- Screening records describe checks. Work items and work logs stay on their own Wingspan paths. Your team reviews work logs separately. Clearing a screening check does not approve hours, shifts, or tasks.
- Payables
- Screening fees stay separate from worker pay. For contractor work, Wingspan links an approved work log to one amount owed. The contractor sees an invoice. The payer sees a payable. W-2 pay uses payroll and pay statements. Payment approval is a separate step.
- Client invoices
- Client invoices bill clients for work. Those bills stay on a separate Wingspan path from worker pay. A TazWorks check does not create a client bill.
- Payments and payouts
- Wingspan handles worker pay on its own path. Required checks, work review, and pay approval are distinct steps. A screening update does not send money. TazWorks screening fees stay separate from pay owed to the worker.
- Tax forms and reporting
- Contractor tax steps include Form W-9 and Form 1099-NEC. W-2 workers use payroll tax forms and pay statements. Wingspan keeps these tax steps on their own path. A background report does not complete tax setup or a tax filing.
