Job Aid for HR Liaisons

Last Updated: Oct 3, 2025 

For more information about this job aid, contact hrs-employment@uni.edu.

Overview

This job aid will assist HR Liaisons in completing the Onboarding Setup task for new hires in UNI Works. Once all approvals are complete for the hire process, you will receive a task to complete onboarding setup for the new hire. The new hire will not have access to their onboarding page until onboarding setup is complete, so this task must be completed as soon as possible. This process only applies to Merit and P&S non-temporary hires.

Onboarding Setup

Step 1: Navigate to your My Tasks in the top right corner of the page.
