BuildPass separates staff and workers to clearly reflect who employs someone, not what permissions they have in the system.
Staff
Staff are people who have selected your company (the builder) as their employer in BuildPass.
Employed directly by your business
Appear under your Staff list
May be assigned different system roles (for example, admin or standard user), but role is separate from staff status
Example:
An office administrator, engineer, or site employee who works directly for your company.
Workers
Workers include everyone on site, regardless of who employs them.
Includes your staff and workers from other companies
May belong to subcontractors, suppliers, or consultants
Appear in the Workers register
Typically interact with inductions, sign-ons, forms, permits, and SWMS
Example:
A contractor or labourer employed by another company working on your site.
Important to Note
Staff vs worker is based on employment, not access level
User roles (admin, manager, project manager, etc.) are managed separately
A staff member can be an admin, but not all staff are admins
