What Happens AFTER an Employee Accepts?

After a candidate accepts a position there are a few steps that must be completed before they can be considered a legal employee:

  1. Background Check – Or ‘consumer report’ is often obtained by the employer to ensure the employee being hired hasn’t committed violent crimes or fraud in the past.
  2. Employment Contract – A legal document that binds an employer and employee to a working relationship.
  3. USCIS Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification) – A form used to prove an employee can work in the United States.
  4. IRS W-4 Form – Required to be collected and used for the employer to understand how much money to withhold from the employee’s pay.
  5. Withholding Taxes – Signup the employee to a payroll service to collect withholding taxes from the individual.
  6. Onboarding Checklist – Give the employee an onboarding checklist that helps them get set up with the new position.
  7. Employee Handbook – Includes the company’s policy regarding vacation time, “at-will” employment, overtime pay, paid time off (PTO), maternity leave, and employee benefits.
