New-hire paperwork

I-9, W-4 and state withholding forms, done on their phone

Send the I-9, W-4 and state withholding forms as one link. The new hire fills them in step by step and signs; you finish the employer part and see what's due.

After that, employees use My Employee Portal for their hours, pay, time off, benefits and forms. Available to businesses in the United States.

A new hire completing the W-4 step on a phone

HRGP Government forms with open I-9 Section 2 tasks and due dates, and a new hire completing the W-4 step on a phone (sample data).

How new-hire paperwork works

  1. Send one link

    The I-9, W-4 and state withholding forms go out together.

  2. The new hire completes them on a phone

    Step by step, then signs. The new hire needs no sign-in to complete them.

  3. You finish the employer part

    Employer I-9 Section 2 tasks show with their due dates.

  4. The employee moves into My Employee Portal

    Hours, estimated pay, time off, benefits and forms in one place.

What the new hire does

The new hire opens the link on a phone and works down one page at a time. For the W-4 they choose a filing status and add dependents if they have any. Their Social Security number is only written into the forms, which are stored encrypted.

To sign, they type their full name and confirm the information is correct. Some forms must be printed and signed by hand, and HRGP tells them when that's the case.

What you see

The Government forms page lists each person with an open task. It shows Signed by the new hire: employer part to do, and when the I-9 Section 2 is due. The employer part is due 3 business days after the first day of work. A task past its date is marked overdue, so it doesn't slip.

Each task has Complete employer part and Download buttons. You can also open a person's forms from their applicant page.

Part of a bigger first week

If you use Onboarding, these forms become items on the new hire's to-do list, next to how they get paid and your own checklist. The New Hires list on the Employees page shows who is on track.

HRGP guides the forms and keeps track of them. You remain responsible for your own I-9 review and your filings.
