# Converting an Intern to a Full-Time Employee

> Make an intern a full-time employee when their internship ends. Set the salary and start date, pay the deposit, and they sign an offer letter.

When you want to keep an intern on, you convert them to a full-time employee. They sign a full-time offer letter, and from the date you pick they're paid a salary instead of the stipend. To hire an intern in the first place, see [Hiring an Intern](https://help.omnivoo.com/eor/hiring-an-intern.md).

## Before You Can Convert

**Convert to employee** is on the intern's page in People. The page says why when they can't be converted yet:

* **Their internship agreement is not signed by them and Omnivoo yet.** Both signatures have to be on the internship agreement first.
* **Their background verification is not clear.** Omnivoo has to lift the hold first. See [Background Verification](https://help.omnivoo.com/eor/background-verification.md).
* **They are already being made full-time.** A conversion is already on its way.
* **Only an active intern can be converted.**

## Converting

The page is headed **Make them a full-time employee**, with the internship's end date under it.

**1. Full-time employment**

| Field | What it means |
| - | - |
| **Full-time from** | The day the salary starts. It starts as the day after the internship ends, as their agreement says. Any 1st of a month after today works |
| **Job title** | Starts as the title the internship agreement offered |
| **Work hours** | Between 1 and 48 a week |
| **Notice period** | Between 15 and 180 days |
| **Probation** | Between 0 and 365 days |

**2. Salary**

Enter the full-time salary the same way as for a [new hire](https://help.omnivoo.com/eor/hiring-eor-employee.md). It has to clear the statutory minimum wage. You can add bonuses, an incentive plan, health insurance and equipment here, as for any hire. A bonus can't be paid before the full-time date.

**3. Send the offer letter**

Click **Send the offer letter**.

## What Happens Next

1. **Security deposit.** Omnivoo invoices one month of cost to company, once, when they become full-time. Nothing was asked for during the internship. Pay it in **Finance**. The intern's page says **Security deposit of … not received yet** until it arrives.
2. **Offer letter.** Once the deposit arrives, the intern gets the full-time offer letter to sign, then Omnivoo countersigns it.
3. **Until the full-time date**, they stay on the stipend. Their page shows **Becomes a full-time … on …**.
4. **From the full-time date**, payroll pays their salary with PF, ESI, Professional Tax and TDS at slab rates, and health insurance starts if you added it.

Their signed internship agreement stays in their **Documents**, beside the full-time offer letter.

## If You Don't Keep Them On

You don't have to convert. When the internship ends, the stipend carries on until you act, so end their employment from the menu on their page. See [Employee Offboarding](https://help.omnivoo.com/eor/employee-offboarding.md).
