.Self Service Actions v1.8


New Hires are provided with certain self service actions in case if they have to perform corrections/updates to their I-9 information presented in previous completed Form I-9. When the self-service process is initiated, an additional invitation is launched against New Hire's registered business process which will allow them to correct/update the previous I-9 information.

Note: It is very important to note that these processes can be initiated if all the processes associated with the I-9 are all in Process Completed status.

How to access Self Service actions?

New Hires can access Self Service actions through Menu links available in the left navigation when they log into their onboarding account.
