Employee Onboarding

In the process of hiring an Employee, there are typically set of standard activities which need to be executed. This feature helps you maintain the masters of these activities, and create a set of tasks at each Employee hiring.

1. Introduction

Employee Onboarding is created for a Job Application, who is approved for hiring.

Use Case: Let's assume that the following are the activities which need to be performed as soon as a job applicant is approved for hiring.

• Perform a legal and professional background check
• Create an Employee master
• Create an Email Account
• Create an identity card
• Allocate leaves

In OneOfficeERP, these standard activities can be tracked in the Employee Onboarding Template. To access Employee Onboarding, go to:

Human Resources > Employee Lifecycle > Employee Onboarding

2. Prerequisites

Before creating an Employee Onboarding, it is advisable that you create the following documents:

• Job Applicant
• Employee
• Department
• Designation
• Employee Grade

3. How to create an Employee Onboarding

1. Go to: Employee Onboarding > New.
2. Select the Job Applicant. once the Job Applicant is selected, the corresponding Employee will automatically get fetched.
3. Select the Employee Onboarding Template (more on that below). Based on the template selected, information such as Department, Designation and Employee grade will be automatically fetched (if already mentioned in the Onboarding Template).
4. Enter Date of Joining.
5. Save and Submit.

Note 1: If an Employee Onboarding Template isn't created, you can directly fill the onboarding information in the Employee Onboarding doctype itself.

4.2 Tasks and Assignments

On submission of the Employee Onboarding, a Project will be created. Within the Project, Tasks will also be created for each Activity.
