Manager's Guide to Onboarding

Once a candidate has been selected for a position, you will be able to easily onboard your new hires thorough AllPay.

Onboarding Initial Push to New Hire

This process pushes out the new hire documentation to your employees. Here’s how to access the Applicants section of AllPay:

1. Log in to AllPay and make sure you are looking at your applicant tracking company

2. Select the Onboard section from your home screen's top navigation

3. Navigate to Applicants

4. Click on the name of the desired candidate

5. Then choose Onboard Applicant from the drop-down menu next to their name (pictured below)
   
   
   

6. The New Onboard User wizard will open with five screens of information you need to complete.

Screen One

A screen will pop-up with the applicant's Basic Information (pictured below). The information will be auto populated from the applicant's record in the Applicant Portal. Each applicant will complete the employment application.

Review the Basic Information on page one and click the Next button at the bottom of the window.

Screen Two

The employee's user name is auto generated by AllPay, but you can change the name if necessary. Review User Name and click the Next button. You can also return to the previous information screen with the Previous button.

Screen Three

The Cost Centers information will need to be updated or verified, depending on what information may be pre-populated with details about the position. Click the Next button to advance to the next step. You can also return to the previous user name screen with the Previous button.

Screen Four

Enter the Rates of Pay for the new employee. Use the Base Rate row to enter their base pay (pictured below).

Click Next when finished. You can also return to the previous cost centers screen with the Previous button.

Screen Five

Review the information on the Review & Save New Onboarding User screen for accuracy. Once reviewed, click the Save Onboarder button. To make changes, use the Previous button to go backward in the wizard.

After You Save

Now that the record is saved, you will need to send the new hire their onboarding access information. Click the Send Enrollment Email button at the bottom of the New Onboard User screen, and AllPay will send them their welcome letter and access information via email (see below).

You have now completed the setup and delivery of your new employee’s onboarding information.

Onboarding Post Employee Completion

When the new employee has completed their onboarding information, you will need to complete your portion of the onboarding process on the Portal User page. This is accomplished in three steps:

1. Certifying their I-9

2. Completing the form

3. Converting them to an active employee

How to Certify a New Employee’s I-9 Form

A part of the Onboarding system includes the federal I-9 form. The new employee will complete the first page of the I-9 prior to their first day of employment. Within the first three days, the employee is required to present “physical” supporting documentation to complete the employer portion of their Federal Form I-9 in the AllPay system.

When the employee shows you their documentation, complete the following steps:

1. Select the Onboard > Onboarding > Portal Users section.
   

2. Click on the Certify I-9 button.
   
   
   

3. The I-9 Detail screen will open. You need to complete Section 2 (see screenshot below). Examine one document from List A OR examine one document from List B AND one document from List C, and record the title, number, and expiration date, if any, of the document(s).
   
   
   

4. Once you have completed recording the appropriate information, enter the employee’s first day of employment.
   ​
   

5. There are some List Documents that are required to be uploaded if an E-Verify case is being created (see below).
   
   
   

6. Then certify that the I-9 information is accurate by selecting the certify checkbox. Your AllianceHCM information will populate the record.
   
   
   

7. Click the Save button to complete. You can also go back by clicking the Return to Portal Users button.

How to Convert a New Hire to an Active Employee

Once all work has been completed on the new hire Portal User record, they are now ready to be converted to an active Employee. Do the following to complete this process:

1. Select the new hire on the Portal User page.
   

2. In the User Details section, click on the Convert to Employee button.
   
   
   

3. The New Employee screen will open and show all of the completed new hire onboarding information. Review the information on the screen for accuracy and make any appropriate additions and/or edits.
   
   
   

4. Click the Save & Create Employee Record button to activate the employee.

You have now completed the onboarding conversion process. If any future edits need to be made, they will be handled by your company’s AllPay administrator.
