# How do I use the flag worker feature?

## Admins can add yellow or red flags to worker profiles to track infractions.

 

**How to get there:**To access the 'Flag' feature, a user must be an admin and signed into the GoContractor admin portal. The account must have active worker profiles. Open any worker profile and select 'Add Flag'.

 

**\*If you are a worker and a flag has been added to your profile, you can contact your administrator for further information.** 

 

**Admin Flag Management** 

 

**How to assign a flag to a worker profile**

First navigate to a worker profile through the admin portal. 

- Click 'Workers' on the left menu
- Search for the worker on the list or use the search tool by clicking the blue funnel icon on the right

- Choose the infraction location i.e. in which project did the infraction occur
- All available projects will appear in the drop down, select one
- Select the type of infraction
- Click 'next'
- Select the flag type
- Click 'done'

- If it is a red flag then the admin must select which projects to block the worker from
- Now the flag has been added to the workers profile
- The flag details will always appear at the top of the worker profile
- The type of flag, date it was assigned and which project it was associated to will be visible 
  
  ![](https://help.gocontractor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-07-02%20at%2015-33-13-png.png?width=1682&height=806&name=Screenshot%202024-07-02%20at%2015-33-13-png.png)
- Edit or view the flag by clicking the three dot menu on the right of the flag details
- The edits will capture what dates the flag was edited on and by whom
- The flag can also be removed from the worker profile by clicking 'remove' in this menu
- Removing the flag will remove it from the workers profile
- The 'Flag Report' however will include all flag details including removed flags
- The report will include the date the flag was removed and by which general contractor admin

 

**Red Flag & Yellow Flag Rules**

- Admins can add as many flags to worker profiles as they need to. This is not restricted by the amount of projects or locations an account may have.
- Both general contractor admins and project admins are able to assign flags to worker profiles.
- Sub contractor admins however **cannot** add flags to worker profiles.

#### **Notifications**

- When a worker receives a flag for a project, any admins, project admins, managers, and subcontractor admins with access to the project where the infraction happened and/or to the projects where the worker is being blocked will receive a notification.
- The notification will include the workers name, flag details and the names of the projects affected.
- A flag will also be visible on the worker's profile.
- Flags will follow the worker across all subcontracting companies they are working for, as long as these companies are underneath the same general contractor umbrella.

 

#### **Email Notification**

**Yellow Flag Rules**

Yellow flags do not prevent the worker from doing anything in the product. They are a marker of a infraction for admins to be aware of. 

 

When given a yellow flag, a worker:

 

- will still have access to the projects they were invited to
- will be able to check themselves in
- will have access to training and certifications
- will have a yellow flag on their worker profile and in reports

 

**Red Flag Rules** 

Red flags are more serious in nature than yellow flags. This means that there are stricter outcomes for workers who receive a red flag. 

When given a red flag, a worker 

- will be removed from and will not have access to projects that the admin has selected
- will not be able to check themselves in
- will not be able to interact with qualifications
- will not have access to training materials
- will have a red flag on their worker profile and in reports
