Manual onboarding burns hours per hire and quietly damages your employer brand. Contracts get lost in inboxes, super and tax forms come back incomplete, policies go unacknowledged and the IT request never quite makes it to the right person. workit replaces the spreadsheets, email chains and printed forms with one connected workflow - so new starters feel looked after, and your team gets their time back. Everything inside the module ## Onboarding that runs itself. Pick a workflow, trigger the right tasks, and let workit orchestrate the contract, forms, policies and checklists in the background. ### Create employees in seconds Add a new starter manually or have them flow in directly from a successful hire in the recruitment module - core positional and employment data captured once, used everywhere. ### Flexible onboarding workflows Choose the path that fits the hire: add only, send contract, send onboarding pack, or run the full end-to-end flow. Configure once, reuse for every role and location. ### Contracts with internal approval & e-sign Generate contracts from templates, route for internal approval, then send to the new starter for legally compliant e-signature - all without leaving workit. ### Super, tax & statutory forms Pre-built Australian super choice and TFN declaration forms collect the right data, the right way, with the right validation - ready to push to payroll. ### Custom form builder Capture anything specific to your business - emergency contacts, uniform sizing, role-specific declarations, kit issue - with a no-code custom form builder. ### Policy issue & acknowledgement Issue policies for digital sign-off as part of onboarding. Every acknowledgement is timestamped and stored against the employee record - audit-ready by default. ### Team checklists & task assignment Trigger checklists for IT, payroll, managers and buddies. Everyone knows what they're doing for the new starter, by when - and nothing slips through the cracks. ### Standalone or fully integrated Use onboarding on its own, or pair it with recruitment and HR Core. Either way, the new starter ends up as a complete profile in your one HRIS. ### Branded new-hire experience Welcome new starters with a clean, on-brand portal - not a stack of PDFs and email chains. The first impression of your business should feel like your business. Connected by design ## From offer to onboarded - without re-entering data. Hire a candidate in workit's recruitment module and the onboarding workflow triggers automatically - contracts, policies, statutory forms and team checklists, all keyed off the same employee record that will follow them through compliance, performance and beyond. [See recruitment](/recruitment-software)[See compliance](/compliance-management) - One employee record, populated once - Contracts, super & tax forms triggered automatically - Policy acknowledgements stored against the profile - Checklists for IT, payroll, managers and buddies - Pushes straight into Xero, MicrOpay, Definitiv and more 70% Less admin per new starter Day 1 Productive - not paperwork day 100% Digital, paperless and audit-ready ### Workflows that fit your business Add only, contract only, full onboarding - choose the right path for each hire and reuse it across roles, locations and entities. ### One HRIS, one source of truth Everything captured during onboarding lives on the employee profile, ready for compliance, performance reviews and payroll - no exports, no copies. ### Built for Australian teams Australian super choice, TFN declarations, working rights and Fair Work-aligned contracts - designed for the way Australian businesses actually onboard.
