An employment request is a request from a company to manage a cardholders RIW profile in the RIW System. Employers have full access and edit rights to this profile. 

An association request means a company has view only rights to a cardholders RIW profile, but can add Employer, National and Network based competencies or job roles to your profile if required.

Cardholders must accept requests within 30 days of issue.  If this time lapses, please ask the company to re-send the request.

Note: From 9 April 2021, if a cardholder receives an association request from a Contractor in Charge (company), and prior to accepting, swipes into a site managed by the Contractor in Charge, an automatic approval will be applied to the association request.

If the cardholder already has a myRIW account, log in with the RIW number and password.  If the cardholder has forgotten their password, click on the Forgotten Password hyperlink and follow the instructions.

Step 3: Employers and Associations

Once logged in, the myRIW dashboard will display. Select the Employers and Associations button.
