Hire Xpress
Hire Xpress (also known as the Compliance Center) uses secure online forms to collect the information necessary to set up new employees via a New Hire Packet. The employee’s employment identity and authorization are completed in Hire Xpress as well.
If the employee is going to be working from a remote location or online outside the State of Arizona, within the United States, please ensure they are listed as a Remote/Out of State employee on the Onboarding case request to the HR Employee Lifecycle team.
How it works Accordion Closed
- Once the Onboarding case form has been initiated, the HR Employee Lifecycle team will initiate the New Hire Packet by utilizing a few pieces of information about the employee.
- An email with the log-in information is sent to the new employee. The employee will log into the NAU Employment Center and provides the necessary information by entering the data into the online hire forms.
- When the employee completes the online portion of the New Hire Packet, they will then present their original employment identity and authorization documents to the Human Resources office to complete their Form I-9. Once the identification is recorded, the New Hire Packet details are then uploaded into LOUIE/PeopleSoft.
Form I-9 Section 1 Instructions
