Why can't I link a worker to a company?

Only External Subcontractor workers can be linked to another company. Employee and Internal Subcontractor workers always belong to your own business (the default company).

Common reasons

What you see	Why	What to do
You can't pick a company for the worker	Their Employment Type is Employee or Internal Subcontractor.	Only choose another company for External Subcontractor workers.
You can't change the worker's company	A worker's company can't be changed after they are created.	Check the company carefully when you add the worker.
No companies found.	The company hasn't been added yet.	Add the company first, then add the worker.
