How Invitations Work
PayTask helps track tasks, working time, and piece-rate payroll through the “employer–worker” connection. Invitations confirm roles, positions, and pay multipliers so the task manager and process manager can calculate payouts correctly.
Main States
- Outgoing invitation — created by you and waiting to be accepted.
- Incoming invitation — sent to you; you can accept or delete it.
- Accepted connection — active work; task tracking and payroll reports are available.
An invitation always includes positions and pay multipliers (separately for weekdays and weekends) — these parameters affect payroll calculations.
The number of incoming invitations is shown as a badge next to the menu items “Me as a Worker” and “Me as an Employer” on the right.
How to Invite an Employer
- Open user search and go to the profile of the required person.
- Click “📩 Invite to My Employers” (visible on someone else’s profile).
- Specify positions and multipliers in the form (page positionsnew.php).
- Send the invitation — it will appear in the “Outgoing invitations for employers” section on the Me as a Worker page.
How to Invite a Worker
- Go to the candidate’s profile via search.
- Click “📩 Invite to My Workers” and set the positions and multipliers.
- After sending, the request will appear in “Outgoing invitations for workers” on the Me as an Employer page.
How to Accept an Invitation
If You Are an Employer
Go to Me as an Employer → the “Incoming invitations from workers” block. Click “👌 Accept” to enable task tracking and payroll calculation using the specified multipliers. If needed, use “Delete” to decline the request.
If You Are a Worker
Open Me as a Worker → the “Incoming invitations from employers” section. The “👌 Accept” button activates the connection and allows you to perform tasks; “Delete” declines the invitation.
How to Cancel or Remove
- Cancel outgoing: in the outgoing sections on the employer or worker pages, click “❌ Delete”.
- Remove an active connection: in the user profile, select “❌ Remove current employer/worker”. In demo accounts, removing active connections is disabled.
- Edit terms: use “✏️ Edit positions and multipliers” next to the required connection.
Where to Check Status and Reports
- Connection status — in the user profile, you can see who sent the invitation to whom and which multipliers are set.
- My Workers and My Employers — active connections on the “Me as an Employer” and “Me as a Worker” pages.
- Reports: the “🤑 Payroll Report” and “✔️ Task Report” buttons are available from the connection lists and profiles.
Practical Tips
- Before sending an invitation, agree on the list of positions and multipliers — they directly affect piece-rate payroll calculations.
- Use profile search and the copy link button to quickly exchange invitations.
- After accepting a connection, immediately check the reports to make sure payroll is calculated using the correct coefficients.
