Offer Acceptance

The first step in beginning the onboarding process, after receiving your invite or offer from the selecting agency, is to accept your offer.

Tasks includes questionnaires and forms assigned by your HR office. The responses you provide on the questionnaire automatically populate forms assigned to you.

Forms are the documents you complete to onboard with your agency. The forms are populated when you complete the online questionnaire in Tasks. You can review the forms in Adobe PDF format. If a form information is complete, you can submit the form to the HR office.

Tasks are assignments that you review and complete outside of the Onboarding Manager system. Tasks can include assignments such as: fingerprint appointments, drug testing, physical fitness tests and other pre-employment obligations. There is no way for you to mark a task as complete in the system. You will need to call or email your HR Contact when you have completed the assigned tasks.

Electronically Signing and Submitting Your Forms

When reviewing the form in PDF format, you can also electronically sign and submit the form if it is eligible for electronic signature. Forms that require a signature include a verification section that includes the Authorize Electronic Signature and Submit button that allows you to certify your information, authorize your electronic signature, and submit the form to the HR office.

The Tasks page will display the status of your forms and will indicate if the form has been completed or if the form requires additional information. The Adobe (PDF) form cannot be edited. To correct or complete form information, you will need to return to the questionnaire in Tasks. If a form is incomplete, the system will display a red Incomplete box to the left of the task. The Task Details link will route you to the Task Details topic page indicating the additional information needed.

Completing the Onboarding Process

Your HR Contact will inform you if additional information is required to complete any of your assignments and will provide you with guidance to finalize the onboarding process.
