What is an Onboarding Questionnaire?
Instead of dealing with back and forth emails to ask new hires to provide essential information for their on-boarding, you can set up questions and document requirements for the employee to answer in their PayFit account. Admins can create a questionnaire personalised to your company needs and capture all required information and documents in PayFit.
Feature Overview: Onboarding Questionnaire
✅ Admins can set up questions for employees to answer - these can be set to answer with a multiple choice option, a date or text.
✅ Admins can choose the type of document that the employee needs to upload.
✅ Admins can choose whether to send the questionnaire to all employees on PayFit or just to new starters.
✅ Admins can track the progress of employees answers and send reminder emails if needed.
✅ Employees can access their onboarding questionnaire in their employee space.
✅ Employee answers are stored in PayFit and can be accessed by the admin at any time.
❌ Admins aren't able to set up onboarding questionnaires that are bespoke to each employee - the company template will be sent to all employees / new starts as specified.
❌ Admins cannot add extra Document categories to the onboarding questionnaire- the only options are ID, Criminal Record, Driving License and Diploma.
Step by Step: How to Create an Onboarding Questionnaire
1️⃣ Go to My Team > Onboarding questionnaire > Edit to start the process.

5️⃣ Click on 'Save and publish'. Here you will be asked if you'd like to share the on-boarding questionnaire with new hires only, or to all existing employees. Choose which you'd prefer and click Publish.
