Employee Onboarding
Employee Onboarding
There are a number of standard procedures that must be followed when recruiting an employee. With the aid of this tool, you can keep track of who is in charge of these responsibilities and establish a list of assignments for each new employee.
A job application that is approved for employment results in the creation of Employee Onboarding.
Use Case: Assume that the actions listed below must be taken as soon as a job candidate is given the go-ahead to be hired.
- Perform a legal and professional
- background check
- Create an Employee master
- Create an Email Account
- Create an identity card
- Allocate leaves
The Employee Onboarding Template in ERPNext allows for the tracking of these common tasks. Go to: to access Employee Onboarding.

4.Also, you can plan the onboarding activities by indicating the Begin On (Days), or the time the activity must begin, and the Duration (in Days).

3.2 Tasks and Assignments
A project will be started once the Employee Onboarding has been submitted. For each Activity, Tasks will also be created within the Project. Tasks will be produced with the proper Start and End Dates, excluding holidays, if you have chosen the date and duration for the activity.
The projects and tasks you've created can be seen as follows:

Moreover, weights based on each Activity's significance might be assigned.

Progress in the Employee Onboarding process can be modified based on how well the Tasks are going.
3.3 Employee Development
Once all the required onboarding procedures have been completed, you can directly create an Employee through the Employee Onboarding doctype (assuming one has not already been established).
