Employers have the option to enable the Name and Employee Number search fields on the Look Up Employee page of the Add US/Canadian/International Employee work event. Hiring managers can perform a more thorough record search using the additional fields before hiring or rehiring an employee.

Navigation:Menu > System Configuration > System Settings > Display Settings

1. From the Display Settings page, select Edit.
2. Switch the Search for Employee Duplicates toggle to YES to search by Name and Employee Number when using the work event.
   

   When the search and related US/Canadian/International Employee business processes are enabled, employee administrators and managers can enter the name (first, last) and employee number as search criteria to find potential record matches. Record matches are not limited by role-based security qualifiers.

   Note If the manager does not have access to view the actual employee record, administrators must first obtain the employee's National ID of the country in which they were originally hired.

Rehire former employees, regardless of the country location, by beginning the hire or rehire process with an employee record search. Identify and locate rehires by name, employee number, or national ID to minimize duplicate records.

1. From the My Employees page, Things I Can Do section, select the Add US/Canadian/International Employee link. The Add US/Canadian/International Employee work event appears.
2. From the Lookup Employee page, enter the information you have for the employee to determine if the employee is already in UKG Pro. Complete one of the following:
   1. If a match is found, select the employee record to proceed with the rehire or multi-company hire process. Enter the employee's national identification information for the country in which you are hiring or rehiring them.
      Important If you are not qualified to see this employee, you must provide the National ID from the original hire country in order to proceed with the rehire process.
      
   2. If a match is not found, the message, “No employees match the search criteria,” appears. Select the Click here link to hire a new employee and then select the company for which you are hiring. Enter the National ID and then reenter the number to confirm.
      
3. Select Next to go to the Personal page.
   

Add or change personal information for an employee on the Personal page of the Add US/Canadian/International Employee work event.

1. Enter the employee's first and last name information (including the suffix). The employee’s name must be entered exactly as it appears on the employee's work authorization documentation.
2. Enter the employee's date of birth.
3. Enter the employee's contact information, including country, and address information.
4. Enter the employee's phone and email information.
   Important Each email address must be unique. Do not share email addresses across multiple new hires. If email addresses are shared, new hires may have problems signing into UKG Pro.
5. Select Next to go to the Job page.

Add or change job information for an employee on the Job page of the Add US/Canadian/International Employee work event.

1. From the Job page, enter the employee's hire date. This date automatically populates in the Seniority and Benefits Seniority Date fields, but can be changed if needed.
2. Enter the employee's seniority date. This date is used to calculate the employee's length of service. It is also used to calculate how the employee accrues PTO and leave balances.
3. Enter the employee's benefit seniority date. This date is used with benefit waiting periods to establish eligibility and coverage start dates.
4. Enter the employee's next salary and performance review dates. The defaults for these dates are based on the company-level settings established during company configuration, but can be overwritten if necessary.
5. Select the Job.
6. Enter an alternate job title.
7. Select a location.
8. Enter a mailstop.
9. Select a project, supervisor, division, department, region, and team lead.
10. Select Next to go to the Payroll page.

Add or change payroll information for an employee on the Payroll page of the Add US/Canadian/International Employee work event.

2. Enter the employee’s pay rate. Indicate how the pay rate is based (per hour, per period, per week or per year).
   Note For the Currency Conversion tool to be available, the COMPM product key must be registered and Currency Conversion must be enabled by your System Administrator. Additionally, you must have conversion rates configured for the selected pay currency; otherwise, the conversion tool is not displayed and a “No conversion rate exists for the selected currency” message appears.
3. Select the employee’s pay group. Only active pay groups that you are qualified to view are listed. The pay frequency defaults based on the pay group selected.
4. At the Pay Frequency section, ensure the following required fields are completed, otherwise pay rates will not calculate and the transaction cannot be saved: Scheduled hours employee type, and whether the employee is hourly or salaried, full-time or part-time, and the employee’s benefit group.
   
5. Select Next to go to the Time or Summary page.

For organizations with a time or workforce management solution, a separate page displays after the Payroll step in the Add Employee and Add US/Canadian/International Employee work events. The fields will vary based on the solution that your organization uses.
