The Contractor visitor type will shortly be changing to “Estates Contractor”. This is to correspond with a change in entitlements for this type and to clarify its use for staff employed by UCL contracted companies (e.g. for security, cleaning, building projects). Temp staff contracted via agencies or employed on an individual basis by departments should be set up as Associate Staff.

We will be contacting departments outside Estates who have used the “Contractor” visitor type to arrange for the records to be updated to Associate Staff or another suitable type.
