Employee Onboarding Completion by Admins
Welcome to the Employee Onboarding Completion by Admins guide in DecisionHR. Here, we'll navigate the crucial final steps of verifying new employees' information, ensuring a smooth transition into your team. This concise guide provides a roadmap for admins to finalize onboarding with precision, covering essential verification processes and document reviews.
What is this onboarding step?
This step is the third and final step of employee self-onboarding. In this step, the company's admin completes the onboarding process for the new employee.
The company's admin shall verify every piece of information that the employee might have provided in the previous step of the onboarding. The information that our system might require the company admin to verify is based on the onboarding option choice your company's admin made in the first onboarding step.
Where to complete the step in the app
To complete the final step of employee onboarding, you navigate to the Teams section of the app. You can do this by clicking on the Teams button at the left-hand side of the app or by using the Teams widget on your dashboard.
How do you complete this onboarding step?
The final onboarding step begins after the employee completes the self-onboarding step. The system automatically adds the employee's information to the Teams section, where the company admin can quickly review the onboarded information.
In this onboarding step, the company's admin verifies the employee's onboarded information in about five different processes depending on the onboarding option the admin chose in the first step.
The steps include the following depending on the onboarding option the admin chose:
Net Pay Allocation
You review the Net Pay Allocation information in the employee's profile before running the first payroll. If the employee did not set up a bank account for direct deposit, the sum of all net pay allocations will be issued as a live check.
You click on COMPLETE to open a modal that contains information about the Net Pay Allocation. After reviewing the information, click on COMPLETE to move to the next step.
Tax Setup
You review the employee's Tax Setup information before running the first payroll. You click on COMPLETE to open a modal that contains information about the Employee's Tax Setup. After reviewing the information, click on COMPLETE to move to the next step.
Form I-9
Depending on the onboarding option you chose in the first phase of the onboarding, you may skip this step. The Form I-9 is to verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States.
After the employee completes their part in the previous phase of the onboarding, you must verify their information and complete the form. To complete the form, click on the COMPLETE button, which opens up a modal with a list of fields to review and complete.
The fields for you to verify include:
Employee's first day of employment
This field is usually preset based on information from the onboarding first phase. Still, you can edit the date here by using the calendar icon on the field or entering the date manually.
Document Type
In this field, you select the employee's identification document type from the options drop-down. The options are : [List A] and [List B&C].
Depending on the option you choose, the system modifies the subsequent fields. By selecting List A, the employee provides only one of two options of identification that you will select from the drop-down box in the following field. However, choosing List B&C means that the employee will provide two of many options for identification.

Expiration Date
This date may not be required for some documents, but the system requires this date in some other documents. The expiration date is when the employee can no longer tender the document as a means of identification. You can manually enter the date or use the field's calendar icon.
After completing this information, you toggle the ATTESTATION box and select the employee's preferred signature option. This option could be either electronic or the wet-ink method.
