1. Employer Registry

An employer is the foreign company that will receive your workers (the principal/sponsor on the demand letter). Before you can raise a single Job Order for a company, it must exist here and be Approved.

What happens on Save

The employer is created with status Pending (not yet usable) and the success message reads “Employer registered — sent for approval.” It now waits for a reviewer.

Approve (or reject) an employer

New employers cannot receive job orders until a reviewer approves them.

1. On the Employers page, click Approvals (top-right). The badge shows how many are pending.
2. You land on Employer Approvals (/employers/review), on the Pending tab.

1. For each row you can:
   • Approve — the employer becomes usable immediately (“they can now receive job orders”).
   • Reject — you are asked for a reason (required); the employer is sent back for correction.
2. The Approved and Rejected tabs let you review past decisions and the rejection reasons.

Approval vs. standing

Approval (Pending → Approved/Rejected) is the one-time review gate. Separately, an approved employer has an operational standing — Active, Suspended or Blacklisted. Only an employer that is both Approved and Active appears in the Job Order dropdown.

Editing & deleting

• Open a row's ⋯ → Edit to change details or add more documents.
• An employer that already has linked job orders cannot be deleted — the system blocks it and tells you how many orders are attached. Reassign or remove those first.
