Inviting Team Members (Company Administrators)

Admins can invite employees to join Compt either manually or automatically. Manual invitations let you choose specific employees from the team list and send invitations when needed. Auto-invitations automatically send invites to eligible new hires after they are added to Compt.

Manual invitations are helpful when you want control over timing, such as during onboarding or before a stipend program launches. Auto-invitations can reduce administrative work, but they should only be enabled once your program is ready for employees to access.

Compt is a platform that helps companies manage stipends and reimburse employees through payroll. Before employees can access their stipends, submit a claim, and receive reimbursement, they must first be invited to join Compt.

This article explains how admins can manually invite employees from the team list or enable automatic invitations for eligible new hires.

When to use

Use this article when you need to:

• Invite one or more employees to join Compt
• Resend an invitation to an employee whose invite expired
• Enable automatic invitations for new hires
• Invite all employees in your team list at once

Before you start

Before inviting employees, make sure:

• The employees have already been added to the Team tab in Compt
• Their email addresses are correct
• Your program is ready for employees to access Compt, especially if you plan to enable auto-invitations

Keep in mind:

• Invitations are delivered within a few minutes after sending
• Employees have 5 days to access the invitation link before it expires
• If an invitation expires, you can send a new one using the same steps
• Employees with an Active status will not receive another invitation

How to

Manually invite employees

1. Log in to Compt.
2. Click the Team tab.
3. Select the checkbox next to the name of each employee you want to invite.
4. If you want to invite everyone, select the checkbox next to the Name column.
5. If your team has more than 100 employees, click Select all X team members to include the full list.
6. Click Actions.
7. Click Send Invitation.

Turn on auto-invitations for eligible new hires

1. Log in to Compt.
2. Click the Company Settings tab.
3. Click Edit under New Hire Invitation Settings.
4. Review the feature details.
5. Select Automatically send invites to eligible new hires.
6. Click Save Changes.

What happens next

After you send an invitation:

• The employee receives an invitation email within a few minutes
• The invitation link remains active for 5 days
• Once the employee accepts the invitation, they can log into Compt and access their account

If auto-invitations are enabled, eligible new hires will automatically receive an invitation after they are added to the team list.

Troubleshooting

• An employee did not receive an invitation
  • Confirm the employee was selected before clicking Send Invitation
  • Check that the employee’s email address is correct in the Team tab
  • Ask the employee to check their spam or junk folder
  • Re-send the invitation if the original link expired
• The employee’s status is Active
  • Employees with an Active status will not receive another invitation
  • Confirm whether the employee already has access to Compt
• Not all employees were invited
  • If you have more than 100 employees, selecting the top checkbox may only select the visible page
  • Click Select all X team members before sending invitations
• Auto-invitations should not be turned on yet
  • New customers should wait until after their launch date to enable auto-invitations
  • If employees are auto-invited before launch, they will not have access to stipend details
