Onboarding an employee

Requesting Information and Sharing Documents with New Employees

You can request onboarding information from an employee directly through Urhere. This allows the employee to complete their details, sign documents, and upload any requested documents as part of the onboarding process.


Use this when you need to:

  • Collect employee details

  • Send documents for the employee to review and sign

  • Request documents from the employee

  • Complete the employee’s onboarding before they start work

Once the request is sent, the employee can complete the required steps from their side. You can then review the submitted information and documents in Urhere.

Note: This document refers to adding a new employee and requesting their personal, banking, superannuation and tax details. If you would like to add an employee without entering their details, use the Quick Add option, see article - Quick add an employee manually | Urhere Help Center

Requesting a new employee’s details during onboarding

You can request a new employee’s details during the onboarding process. This sends the employee an email so they can provide their personal, bank, tax and super details in Urhere.

You can also send documents for the employee to sign and request documents they need to upload, such as licences, certificates or other required paperwork.

Add the employee

  1. Select Add Employee.

  2. Select Onboard Employee.

  3. Enter the employee’s name and email address.

  4. Select the employee’s primary location.

Request employee details

Use the available toggles to choose what information you want the employee to provide.

  1. Turn on the toggle to request the employee’s personal details.


  2. Turn on the toggle to request the employee’s bank, tax and super details.


Add documents to sign or request documents

You can attach linked documents for the employee to review or sign. You can also request documents from the employee.

For example, you may need to send an employment contract for signing and request a copy of the employee’s RSA.


Once the onboarding request is sent, the employee will receive an email asking them to complete the required details, sign any attached documents, and upload any requested documents.

You can also set certain documents to be automatically included when onboarding new employees.
