Use this form only if your organization uses Position Management. If your organization doesn’t use Position Management, use the corresponding form without (Position Management) added to its name.

The New Hire (Position Management) form is used to hire an employee into a position and record the details of the newly hired employee.

Enter the new hire’s personal details, including address, emergency contacts, managing position, primary position and location, and compensation. You can assign policies used throughout Dayforce, such as the employee’s pay policy and time entry policy.

In the Primary Position section, you assign the new employee to a position in the organization hierarchy. Select the Interim Position? checkbox if the employee will be an interim occupant. With the checkbox selected, the Position Name list is filtered to show only positions that support interim occupancy. The Managing Position drop-down list includes managers that have vacant positions under them as of the hire date that you entered on the form. The Position Name list shows positions under the selected manager that are vacant as of the hire date. If no hire date is entered, the lists are filtered as of today's date. You must select a manager first before you can select a position and location.

The positions available in the Primary Position section depend on the user's Position Management access authorizations. See "Access Authorizations for Position Management Forms" in Position Management Self-Service Forms.

You can hire an employee while they are in Pre-Start status by entering a future date in the Hiring Date and Onboarding Date fields.

Submitted and processed forms create a new employee record that you can see in the People feature. The selected location becomes the primary work assignment for the employee. If the position has multiple locations, they become secondary work assignments. The employee is also assigned as the occupant for the position that you selected in the Primary Position section. You can view their occupancy in the hierarchy in Organization Designer > Positions.
