How to Configure Due Date for New Hire Tasks

You can define a custom due date that will automatically apply to all new hire onboarding tasks such as:

  • Personal Data Collection

  • Additional Data Collection

  • New Hire Data Review

  • Document Flow tasks

  • Onboarding Rehire Verification

The configured due date will be reflected in the Onboarding Dashboard (New) for each task.

Steps to Configure the Due Date

  1. Go to Admin Center.

  2. Search for and open Manage Data.

  3. In the object search, select Onboarding Due Date Configuration (or relevant onboarding task configuration object).

  4. Locate the field:
    “Number of Days Before Start Date by when Assigned Task must be Completed.”

  5. Enter the required number of days.

    • Example: Enter 1 if the task should be completed one day before the new hire’s start date.

  6. Click Save.

Result

  • The system automatically calculates task due dates based on the candidate’s start date.

  • The updated due date will appear on the Onboarding Dashboard (New).

  • The configuration applies to future onboarding processes.
