Do I really need to use my passport for Employee Onboarding? I haven't used my passport in 10 years and don't plan to for the foreseeable future so it's expired and I haven't renewed it solely because I don't plan on using it, however the onboarding process requires me to have a valid passport? Why can't I just use my birth certificate?
Hi Charles Wratten-Eassie, I’m Gab from the EH content team. In order for you to get a personalised answer for your query, I’ve raised a ticket for you with our support team. Your reference number is #1050962. Thank you!
Hi,
I am stuck in onboarding process. I am on the certification uploading step which is pending where I still need to finish few certificates and upload. Could you please assist in accessing the app for other things like view salary slip, apply leaves or upload medical certificate without completing the pending step?
Hi @Anipriya,
Thanks for reaching out.
If you have an issue with the platform stuck in pending, you'll need to speak to the support team who will be able to look into technical issues.
I have created a support ticket for you, the ticket number is Ticket #1061710. The support team will be in touch confirming that they have received your support request.
I'm stuck on the last stage of onboarding,everything is outstanding and I feel I'm missing something. Should I be using a computer instead of my phone possibly?
Hi Hayden Ruki, we generally recommend using a computer for onboarding if you have access to one as your connection and stability are usually more reliable.
My App does not work it will only load up the page with just and email option ( then prompts me to look for other jobs)
i have deleted and re downloaded the app multiple times and my employer has ever deleted me off and re-invited me.
Hello, I'm trying to complete my onboarding & getting stuck at the Super section, I'm with Commonwealth Bank Superannuation Savings Account but it doesn't pop up by the ABN, USI, Name or Account Number.
Hi Alexandra Lovell, thank you for your comment.
I've raised a ticket with the support team to assist with your query. They should be getting back to you soonest.
I am unable to complete my onboarding as after I go through the Superannuation information, choose my fund, confirm details, confirm account details, upload the compliance letter etc when I go back to home it says it hasn't been done. I have attempted 6 times so far today.
