Electronic Onboarding Has Arrived Too!
Additionally, as we posted earlier, Electronic Onboarding is also now available as a value-added option.
What is it?
COATS integrated Electronic Onboarding keeps your office paper free! Once your new employee has a job offer, your staff, within COATS, can register the employee to complete the new hire paperwork online. The employee will receive a registration link where they can complete an initial form that will populate the necessary fields on each of the new Hire forms within the onboarding process. The employee will add additional data required by each unique form and sign electronically. Once done the staffer will finalize the I9 and complete the onboarding process. The Staffer at any time can go back to view the employee’s new hire forms. All paperwork is stored securely online.
How does it help me?
Electronic Onboarding allows the agency’s new hire packet to be electronic. The completion, signing, and storage of forms is all held on a secure site. If the staffer needs to register, review, view, or have access to any new hire forms completed via Electronic Onboarding, they can access the forms from within COATS.

Employee Onboarding: $195 Monthly Fee for unlimited onboarding of employees per month; $595 set up, one-time, per FEIN
