Does the onboarding system time out?
Yes, be sure to save your work regularly. The onboarding system times out after 30 minutes of inactivity. The system considers typing as inactivity. When logging back into the system you will be prompted to enter your User ID, password and security questions. Do I need to complete all onboarding tasks in one sitting or can I save where I am and come back later?
You do not have to complete all tasks in one sitting. There may be some specific forms that will need to be printed and require handwritten signature. Click “save” and you can exit and re-enter the onboarding system as needed until you have completed all of the forms. When logging back into the system you will be prompted to enter your User ID, password and security questions. How do I navigate the onboarding system?
The Top Navigation Menu allows you to see the activities that are outstanding as well as those have been completed. The Onboarding process requires you to work through a defined set of tasks. As you work through your tasks the Left Navigation Menu will provide you with an “at a glance” picture of your progress throughout the Onboarding process. It will also provide you the ability to review previous steps if necessary. The system walks you through step-by-step; you can work on any item with a clock . Any item with a lock is inaccessible and requires a prior step to be completed before it is unlocked. A check mark indicates an item is complete. You do not have to complete all tasks in one sitting. By clicking save you can exit and re- enter the onboarding system as needed until you have completed all of the forms. Once all items are complete and checked off and you “submit for review”, you will receive an automated confirmation email.
What do I do if I have questions about a form, document, or the onboarding process?
Please reach out to your onboarding company representative if you have questions about the process or forms. Click the “Contact Us” link under the home icon on the top left of your screen to send him or her an email directly.
I am a re-hire, will I have to start from scratch or will some information transfer from my prior submission(s)?
Personal information such as name, address, date of birth, and primary emergency contact (not secondary) will not need to be re-entered but can be updated. Payroll withholdings and direct deposit information will need to be re-entered. You will also need to electronically re-sign any company or client forms completed previously and all new forms. Do I need to print any forms or documents from the onboarding system? You will have the option of printing or saving any forms or documents for your personal files. Click the “process viewer” link under the home icon to download and print selected signed forms. To print policy documents open, download and print the document directly. The onboarding system will only remain open to you for 60 days after you submit all of your forms for review. After that time, you will need to request forms from your company representative. There maybe a few forms requiring a handwritten signature. You will be instructed in the system to print, complete, and hand sign, and provide these forms to your company representative. If you do not have access to print these documents, you will be provided the forms during your in office orientation.
