In case you missed it, the following change went into effect in PeopleSoft on March 1st.
Label Change on Quick Hire Forms
What is changing?
The ‘Eligible to work in U.S.’ check box at the top of the form is being renamed ‘Eligible to be Hired?’
Current Label
New Label
Why rename the checkbox?
We are renaming the checkbox to more accurately represent what it indicates, which is that the employee has the proper employment verification forms to be hired in the position listed on the form. For most paid appointments, this currently means that they have completed their I-9 verification process and are eligible to work in the US. However, in some cases, such as unpaid appointments, an I9 is not required and the checkbox indicates that the person can be hired but does not indicate that they can work in the US.
Why now?
Currently, both section 1 and section 2 of the I-9 form must be completed to hire in a paid appointment in PeopleSoft. In the near future, we are looking at making a change and allowing the hiring transaction to be submitted in advance of the hire date and as soon as section 1 is completed. More information will be shared about this soon.
