Offer Letter
After a prospective staff person has become "fully funded," the ADP Hiring Portal will automatically advance the candidate to finalize the pre-onboarding process.
The hiring manager will have tasks to complete to generate the offer letter.
Please note you may make position changes at this time however if you move from full to part time and that part time is what do I put here to reflect Michele, or do I add this earlier?
After the hiring manager has submitted the details for the offer letter, Human Resources will create the offer letter and trigger the offer letter approval process. The offer letter must be approved by both the Hiring Manager's supervisor as well as the Regional Vice President (RVP). The candidate will now be notified how to review and accept the letter.

Final Onboarding Tasks
The final onboarding process requires the Hiring Manager and the candidate to complete final onboarding tasks in the ADP HR Portal. Both will receive emails with instructions.
The candidate will have 5 tasks to complete. Continue to be in constant communication with the candidate to insure that all tasks are complete. This process often brings about a missed step and the process can get delayed which can delay pay.
Remember, the hiring deadline is the 10th of each month! All final onboarding tasks must be completed by the 10th in order for your new hire to receive a paycheck that month.
