Accepting a workforce invitation
If your employer uses Lexpoint — Workforce, they can send you a workforce invitation. Accepting it records that you are employed by that business, so the employer can handle workforce immigration compliance and, where it applies, support you on a temporary or permanent residence application.
You accept it in your own account. You never get an account inside your employer’s workspace.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- The invitation is addressed to one email address. You must be signed in to a Lexpoint account whose confirmed sign-in email is that same address.
- If you do not have an account yet, the invitation link takes you through sign-up first. Lexpoint sign-in is passwordless: a Google account or a magic link sent to your email.
- The invitation is valid for 14 days.
Accept from the invitation email
Section titled “Accept from the invitation email”- Open the invitation email and select its link. The link carries the invitation — there is no code to type.
- Sign in, or create your account. The invitation is kept through sign-in, so you land on the right page afterwards.
- The Employer connection page opens. It names the organization and the person who invited you.
- Read What connecting shares, then tick the consent checkbox.
- Select Confirm and connect.
The page shows Connected. Redirecting… and sends you to your dashboard.
Accept from Settings
Section titled “Accept from Settings”An invitation you have not accepted yet is also listed in your account.
- Go to Settings → Associations → Employer and select Pending. Each invitation shows the organization and the date it expires.
- Select Review and connect. The same Employer connection page opens.
- Tick the consent checkbox and select Confirm and connect.
You return to Settings → Associations → Employer, where the connection is listed under Active. Pending only lists invitations sent to your confirmed sign-in email that have not expired.
What connecting shares
Section titled “What connecting shares”The What connecting shares panel on the page is read-only.
| They will see | They will never see |
|---|---|
| Your name, email and photo | Passport number or date of birth |
| Your permit end date, if you add one | Your ImmiReport, CRS or PR plans |
| Whether your identity is confirmed | Your documents, family or other employers |
The full list, including the employment facts your employer records and the requests you send them, is on What your employer can see.
What you are agreeing to
Section titled “What you are agreeing to”The consent statement is fixed text — your employer does not write it. When you accept, it is stored word for word on your record, with the date and a fingerprint of the exact wording. It reads:
I agree to connect with <your employer> so they can manage workforce immigration compliance and, where it applies, support me on temporary or permanent residence programs. Immigration information in my Lexpoint account, including information I add later, may be used for that. I can end this in Settings. I also agree to Lexpoint’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Accepting is what makes the connection active. Your employer adding you to their invitations does not create one on its own.
Emails about the invitation
Section titled “Emails about the invitation”| When | |
|---|---|
| About 24 hours before the invitation expires | A reminder that it expires tomorrow, with Review invite |
| When it expires, if you opened the email or clicked its link | A notice that the invitation has ended |
| After you connect, with your identity already verified | You joined <employer> on Lexpoint, linking to your employer connections |
| After you connect, with your identity not yet verified | You joined <employer> on Lexpoint, with Verify identity as the next step |
Identity matters because a letter request needs it — see Requesting an employment letter.
If you do not want to connect
Section titled “If you do not want to connect”There is no decline button. Select Not now, or close the page, and the invitation stays pending until it expires or your employer cancels it. If you want it withdrawn sooner, ask the person who sent it.
While it is pending, your employer can see whether the invitation email was delivered, when you opened it, and when you clicked its link. Nothing from your account is visible to them unless you connect.
When it will not work
Section titled “When it will not work”| What you see | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| This invite cannot be used | The link is past its expiry date, has already been used, was cancelled or replaced by a newer email, or is not a workforce invitation | Ask your employer to send the invitation again |
| Invalid or expired workforce invite | The invitation expired or was cancelled, or your account’s confirmed sign-in email is not the address it was sent to | Sign in with the invited address, or ask for a new invitation to the address you use |
| Please accept the connection to continue. | The consent checkbox is not ticked | Tick it, then select Confirm and connect |
| An open workforce link already exists for this employer and account | You are already connected to this organization | Open Workforce → Employers — the connection is there |

Frequently asked questions
Does accepting a workforce invitation give my employer access to my immigration profile or ImmiReport?
No. The connection records an employment relationship between your account and the employer's organization. Your profile, your ImmiReport, your documents, and any case you have are not part of it. What the employer does see is listed on the What your employer can see page.
Can I accept the invitation with a different email address than the one it was sent to?
No. Lexpoint only accepts an invitation on an account whose confirmed sign-in email matches the address it was sent to. Otherwise you see Invalid or expired workforce invite. Ask your employer to send a new invitation to the address you sign in with.
How long is a workforce invitation valid?
Fourteen days. Your employer can cancel it sooner. If it expires, your employer can send it again, which gives you a new link valid for another 14 days and stops the old one working.
Can my employer tell whether I opened the invitation?
Yes. For a pending invitation, the employer sees whether the email was delivered, when it was opened, and when its link was clicked. Nothing from your account is visible to them until you connect.
Do I join my employer's Lexpoint workspace?
No. You stay in your own account at my.lexpoint.io/app. Being connected to an employer never puts you inside the employer workspace, and your employer's team is a separate list you are not added to.
