The New Hire document type is used to add new employees who have no prior UAB affiliation as an active employee, trainee or volunteer assignment. In other words, No person/employee ID records exist, and no future, current, or past person records exist. The New Hire document creates an official personnel record for the individual and should be entered with the highest degree of accuracy as possible.
- Gather all of the relevant information for the new employee. This information will include:
- Person Name, SSN, I-9 Status, Self-ID forms, Licenses, and Education
- Addresses
- Assignment Info
- Salary Info
- Proposed Labor Source(s)
