Onboard your field crew before day one.

When a new hire completes onboarding in Miter, their information automatically populates their HRIS record and payroll profile. Tax withholding, direct deposit, and job assignment are set up during onboarding, so there is no re-entry before their first paycheck. Because Miter runs payroll natively, not through a third-party integration, the data stays accurate and in sync from the moment someone is hired.

Yes. Miter’s onboarding checklist is mobile-friendly, allowing new hires to complete forms, provide information, and sign documents from a phone or tablet through the web-based team portal. This is especially valuable for construction companies whose field employees may not have regular access to a desktop computer. New hires receive a link by email or text and can complete onboarding tasks from their device without downloading an app.

Yes. Miter’s onboarding workflow includes I-9 collection and E-Verify submission. For construction contractors, this is especially important when bringing on crews quickly across multiple jobsites or projects. All verification records are stored in the employee profile within Miter’s HRIS, making them easy to pull during an audit. HR and admin teams can track verification status in real time, so compliance gaps are visible before day one.

In Miter, you can create separate onboarding checklists for different employee types. A field laborer might need safety acknowledgments, jobsite-specific certifications, and a mobile-friendly forms flow. An office hire might need benefits enrollment, IT setup tasks, and handbook sign-off. Each workflow runs independently, so you can onboard both on the same day without the same process. Onboarding adapts automatically by location and entity, and you assign the right workflow by role so each hire only sees the tasks that apply to them.

Miter has a built-in recruiting module (ATS), so for most contractors hiring and onboarding live in the same platform. Once an offer is accepted, Miter transfers the candidate into onboarding and pre-fills their details, so there’s no duplicate entry and no copying data between systems. Recruiting, HRIS, payroll, and onboarding all share one record, which means a candidate’s information carries through from application to first paycheck without anyone re-keying it.

Construction onboarding software should handle pre-hire paperwork like W-4s and I-9 forms, role-based task assignments for field and office staff, e-signature collection, compliance tracking, and mobile access for field workers. It should also connect to payroll so new hire data does not need to be re-entered. In Miter, these features are built into the same platform as payroll, HRIS, and time tracking, so construction teams manage the full employee lifecycle in one place.

Yes. Miter is built for contractors running multiple entities and working across state lines. The platform adapts onboarding forms, tax rules, documents, and compliance requirements to each new hire’s location and entity, so a crew member in one state and an office hire in another each get the right paperwork without manual setup. Records stay organized by entity, which keeps multi-state payroll and compliance accurate from day one.

Yes. During onboarding, new hires upload licenses, trade certifications, and safety cards directly from their phone, and the records are stored in their employee profile. Miter tracks expiration dates and sends renewal reminders, so certifications stay current after day one instead of living in a binder. For trades that require proof of certification before someone can work a jobsite, this keeps the crew compliant and audit-ready.
