Can a contractor have more than one contract?

Yes. A single contractor can hold more than one contract with your company. Flamingo supports two cases:

• Sequential — a past engagement has ended (cancelled, terminated, or completed) and you’re re-engaging the same person on a new contract.
• Concurrent — the contractor is on an active contract and you add a second one at the same time, for example a separate role, project, or work order.

There’s no limit that stops you from adding another contract while one is already upcoming or active.

Add to the existing contractor — don’t recreate them

When you bring back or extend work for someone you’ve already onboarded, add the new contract to their existing profile rather than adding them as a brand-new contractor:

1. Open the contractor from your Talents list.
2. Start a new contract from their profile (rather than starting again from Add a contractor with their details).

This keeps everything — contracts, invoices, and documents — under one contractor instead of splitting their history across two duplicate profiles.

How multiple contracts appear

On the contractor’s profile, contracts are grouped so you can tell what’s live from what’s finished:

• Active — contracts that are upcoming or in effect.
• Past — contracts that are cancelled, terminated, completed, or expired.

Each contract has its own status, dates, compensation, and invoicing schedule, and is managed independently — see View and manage contracts.

You’re still billed for one seat per contractor

Your contractor subscription is charged per contractor, not per contract. If one contractor has two active contracts, they still count as a single seat — you are not charged twice for the same person. For how subscription billing works overall, see How contractor subscriptions work.

Add another contract, or amend the current one?

Use whichever matches what’s actually changing:

• Amend the current contract when the same engagement is changing — for example new compensation, a different invoicing frequency, an extended end date, or an updated job description. See Amend a contractor’s contract.
• Add a new contract when it’s genuinely a separate engagement — a different role or project running alongside (or after) the current one.

Keep in mind the start date can’t be amended. If you only need to correct a start date, replace the contract instead of adding another one — see Upcoming and active contracts: what you can change.
