# Unified HRIS: New contractor onboarding

> Note: This change applies to customers with access to the latest Unified Payroll and HRIS features.

### New

We released a major update to contractor onboarding.

* Contractor onboarding has been standardized to be more consistent with US and international employee onboarding
* The collection of W-8 / W-9 forms for compliance is integrated into onboarding. Previously this was managed after onboarding.
* Admins have more flexibility to decide which onboarding tasks should be completed by themselves and which ones should be assigned to contractors
