      Using the Onboarding Process

      The Onboarding process enables you to assign a checklist and portal as well as optionally completing the standard New Starter process.

      Note:

      • In order to use the Onboarding Process, it is recommended to set up both the Onboarding Setup process flow and the Enter a New Starter process flow.

      This article explains how to use the onboarding process for a new person or an existing person within the system and contains the following sections:

      1. If the New Starter has not yet been added to the system
      2. If the New Starter is already in the system

      1. If the New Starter has not yet been added to the system

      Navigate to: People >> Add New Hire

      1. Select Onboarding & New Starter.
      2. Click Next.
      3. If you have more than one Onboarding Setup process activated, choose the one you want to use:
      4. Fill in Basic Information about the New Starter. The available information is:
        • Personal Information
        • Employment Details
        • Deployment Details
        • Address Details
        • Contact Details
        • User Settings

      5. Click Start Process. The Onboarding Setup process will be started for the Onboarding Setup User.

      IMPORTANT:

      • The External E-mail address will automatically populate the E-mail and Username fields in the User Settings section. If you leave this, you will need to remember to switch the username over to their Internal E-mail when they start.
      • Onboarding Portals can only be set up for Line Manager and Self Service users. Therefore, if you are onboarding a new HR team member, you will need to set them up as a Line Manager or Self Service user initially so that they see the Portal and then change them to be a full HR Professional / Restricted HR Professional after they have started.
