How to Automate Employee Onboarding Paperwork
Automate new hire document collection, right-to-work checks, IT provisioning requests, and first-week scheduling. Get new employees set up and productive from day one without HR drowning in admin.
The Problem
UK employers must complete right-to-work checks before an employee's first day, collect bank details for PAYE, enrol in workplace pensions, and set up IT access — all while making the new hire feel welcome. HR teams at mid-sized UK businesses spend an average of 8 hours per new hire on administrative onboarding. With the average UK employee turnover rate at 35%, that administrative burden adds up fast. Delays or errors in onboarding paperwork can result in payroll mistakes, pension auto-enrolment failures, and Home Office penalties of up to 20,000 pounds per illegal worker.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does automated onboarding handle right-to-work checks legally?
Yes. The system supports both manual document checks and the Home Office online checking service. Digital identity verification providers on the system are certified by the UK government's Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF). All checks are logged with timestamps for audit compliance.
Can it handle different onboarding flows for different roles?
Absolutely. You can create role-specific flows — a warehouse operative needs different equipment, training, and compliance checks than a senior accountant. The system adapts the checklist, document requirements, and IT provisioning based on department, seniority, and employment type (full-time, part-time, contractor).
