Problem setting up my Upwork agency as employees are not being approved as Freelancers

I already run a company (following rules and tax regulations) and I am planning to set up an Upwork agency. I asked my employees to create an Upwork freelancer account but Upwork didn't approve their application (2 employees had applied multiple times, 0 were approved). So, I wanted to know if Upwork allows Upwork agency to send invite to non-Upwork workers (my employees) without the doubt of their application not being approved.

 

I haven't created my agency yet as I thought it would be troublesome to create one without any of my employees working as freelancers. Should I go on and set up my Upwork agency knowing that my employees will be approved 100% if I send them invites through the agency?

Hi Merishna, 

Once your agency account is created, you can file a ticket directly with our support team and relay the information you have shared, together with the links of your agency freelancers so that the team can look into this, and share more information on how you can proceed working on Upwork as an agency.
