2017

Enhancements have been made to the ONBOARDING Solution to accommodate new employee types and to enhance compliance. Specific details for each category are as follows:

Use the ONBOARDING Solution for Additional Employee Type New Hires

  • MSP new hires can now be onboarded via the Solution.
  • Short Term Exceptions:  an “Appointment End Date” field was added to the Offer Letter Data Entry Page in order to accommodate this employee type. 
  • Foreign Visitors: (Career Staff, MSP and STE) Core New Hire forms were modified to gather data necessary to process Foreign Visitors.  By separating the Oath/Patent and I-9 Form, the Oath can be optional for Foreign Visitors and permanent residents. 

Compliance Enhancements

  • Oath/Patent:
    • The Oath & Patent and the I-9 Form are now in separate signing ceremonies.  This enables the solution to accommodate foreign visitors, which are not required to sign the Oath.
  • Form I-9:
    • The new functionality and separate signing ceremony allows for Section 2 of the I-9 to be completed within 3 days of the start date, when needed.
    • The form I-9 can be restarted in the case of data entry errors in Section 1.
    • Effective 3/25/2019, I-9 forms are completed via Tracker.
  • The Amended Offer Letter:
    • In case of a change in start date after an offer was accepted, an amended offer letter can be generated within the Onboarding Solution during the signing ceremony. This step takes place during the Oath and Patent ceremony; the system will recognize that the signing ceremony date and start date do not match, and prompt the user to determine if an amended offer letter is needed.

See the Quick Reference documents in the Training Resources Library for more details.
