Symptom
Reminder emails are still being sent when onboarding compliance tasks have been marked as "Completed".
This issue is occurring for the following triggers:
- (ONB) Compliance Paperwork Trigger
- (ONB) Compliance Document Flow Trigger
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Email Services > Email Status.
- Locate the compliance email entry > note the activity id and sent timestamp.
- Go to Manage Data > Compliance Process > search by the activity id.
- Observe that the activity id relates to an I‑9 process that is already in "Completed" status.
Cause
Scenario 1: Known issue.
Scenario 2: Configuration issue - custom email template has included "Reminder" in subject, which reads as a reminder but fires as an immediate notification.
- Note: It's an expected behavior in the multi‑party I‑9 signing flow that the same compliance email trigger will send multiple emails (e.g. when a new signature task is created for new hire / employer side).
Resolution
Resolution 1: Fixed on Jan, 2026.
Resolution 2: Modify configuration of custom email template and ensure "Reminder" is not included in the subject.
