Employee: Personal | Compliance

The Compliance Tab is located under the Personal section in the Employee section The tab is home to a variety of data related to the employee's employment within an organization. This includes various information the employer has collected as part of the hiring process. Periodically, employers must provide documentation to various government agencies to prove they are following various guidelines in the hiring process. The information on this tab is critical to that process.

Using the Compliance Tab

When creating a new employee in the system, some of the data entered in that process is used to populate the Compliance Tab. The amount of data entered varies from company to company and by the methods used to add a new employee. Employees can be added using the RPO Onboarding system or by using the New Hire Wizard.
