# Remote

### What you get

* **Unified global directory** — Remote employees, EOR workers, and contractors all appear in Siit with the right worker type.
* **Lifecycle triggers** — Start date, End date, and Birthday flow into Siit as workflow triggers.
* **Country and entity context** — country, legal entity, and contract type are synced so you can route and approve by location.
* **Manager resolution** — Remote's manager assignments power auto‑selected approvers.
* **Contractor‑aware workflows** — differentiate between employees and contractors in every automation.

### What syncs from Remote

| Category        | Fields                                                                   |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Identity        | Full name, preferred name, work email, Remote worker ID                  |
| Role            | Job title, seniority                                                     |
| Org structure   | Manager, team, country, legal entity                                     |
| Employment      | Worker type (EOR Employee, Direct Employee, Contractor), contract status |
| Lifecycle dates | Start date, end date, date of birth                                      |

Work email is the canonical identifier.

### Before you connect

* A Remote admin to generate an API token.
* Work email populated on every worker record. For EOR employees, this is the corporate email you issue them — not their Remote login.

### Connect Remote

1. In Remote, generate an API token for Siit with read access to people, contracts, and organization data.
2. In Siit, go to **Settings → Integrations**, find **Remote** in the HRIS section, and click **Connect**.
3. Paste the API token, then click **Authorize**.
4. Review the imported people and field mapping (including Worker Type → Employment Type) and click **Finish setup**.

### After the connection

* Confirm your **People list** matches Remote's active workforce.
* In **Settings → People → Fields**, set Remote as the source of truth for country, contract type, and legal entity if you're also connected to an IdP.
* Most Remote customers start with offboarding automation driven by contract end date.

### Sync frequency

Remote data refreshes automatically every few hours. Trigger an immediate refresh from **Settings → Integrations → Remote → Sync now**.

### Common workflows

**Global Day‑1 onboarding.** *Trigger: Start date. Actions: create IdP account, assign apps by team, ship equipment if Worker Type = Employee, send country‑specific welcome.*

**Contractor offboarding.** *Trigger: End date, Condition: Worker Type = Contractor. Actions: revoke app access, notify manager, close Slack access.*

**Entity‑specific approval.** *Condition: Requester's entity = "Acme SAS" → Approver = French HR lead.*

### Troubleshooting

**Workers missing.** Only active and upcoming contracts sync by default. Confirm contract status and work email in Remote.

**Contractor vs employee mis‑labeled.** Open **Settings → Integrations → Remote → Mapping** and check Worker Type → Employment Type.

**Manager field empty.** In Remote, check the worker has a reporting manager set on their profile.

**"Unauthorized" on connect.** The API token was revoked. Generate a new one and update Siit.
