New Hire & Termination Processing

Q: Does the automation handle both new hires and terminations in one workflow?

Yes, the same automation detects whether a notice is for a hire or termination and routes it to the appropriate workflow, generating onboarding or offboarding documents and notifications accordingly.

Q: What if a benefits provider or payroll system is not on the standard integration list?

The automation can be customized to connect to most payroll and benefits platforms via API or manual data export. A developer handover pack will detail any custom integrations needed.

Q: How does the system ensure nothing is missed during offboarding?

The automation sends a coordinated checklist to IT, Finance, and Operations with specific tasks like access revocation and final pay processing, and tracks completion status in the HR system.

Q: Can the offer letter template be customized for different roles or departments?

Yes, multiple templates can be set up for different job titles, departments, or compensation structures, and the automation selects the correct template based on the role provided in the hire notice.

About This Automation

New hire and termination processing involves creating offer letters, updating payroll systems, enrolling in benefits, and notifying departments. Manual execution across multiple disconnected systems creates delays, errors, and scattered audit trails.

Automation generates documents from templates, updates all systems in sync, and orchestrates notifications to every department. The result is same-day offer letters, error-free payroll setup, and a complete audit trail in one place.

Key features:

Generate offer letters and onboarding documents automatically from templates

Update payroll and benefits data in sync across all systems

Send coordinated notifications to IT, Finance, Operations, and managers

Maintain a complete audit trail of all hire and termination steps

Process both new hires and terminations in the same workflow

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Hire or Termination Triggeredtrigger

A new employee record is created or a termination date is reached. The automation platform detects the event and retrieves employee details.

2. Generate Offer Letter and Docs

The automation uses employee data to populate offer letter, employment agreement, and onboarding checklist templates. Documents are generated as PDFs and stored in Google Drive.

3. Update Payroll

Payroll details (salary, tax info, deductions) are automatically created or updated. For terminations, the employee is marked inactive and final pay is calculated.

4. Notify Departments

Automated messages are sent to IT, Finance, and Operations channels with onboarding or offboarding checklists and deadlines. For terminations, IT is asked to revoke access immediately.

5. Send Welcome or Exit Email

A personalised welcome email is sent to new hires with first-day details. For terminations, an exit email is sent with final pay and benefits info.

6. Update and Archive Documents

Employee record is updated with all onboarding or termination data. Documents are uploaded to the employee file and a completion checklist is logged.

7. Log Completion

A final confirmation message is posted to the HR channel confirming all steps are complete and the employee is ready to start or has been fully offboarded.
