Overview

Enhance your new employees' onboarding experience with Employment Hero's paperless onboarding process. With Employment Hero's HR platform, you can easily send a letter of offer and e-contract for electronic signing, and new employees can enter their personal and tax information online.

The platform will also handle the electronic submission of these details, saving you time and reducing administrative work. The Employee Onboarding widget on your dashboard allows you to specify pay and allowance details, track your employees' progress through the onboarding process, and send reminders if necessary.

Helpful Hint

To read further details on the employee onboarding workflow and how your employees progress through it, refer to the following guide.
