# Employee Status Indicator - Social Tools Access

Abstract

The Employee status indicator is a built-in function to indicate a new hire's onboarding completion status.

Based on the employee status indicator, a new hire can access selected social features, but not all of the tools, until they complete onboarding and is considered an employee. Once a new hire becomes an employee, they have access to additional social tools including social profile, news feed, communities, and people search.

This is not visible on the new hire's profile, nor is it visible on the onboarding specialist's Administration portal screen. To assure seamless transition from new hire to an employee, a new onboard activity configuration was added to change the employee status of the new hire.

### How to Configure the Employee Status Indicator

Abstract

  - The Employee Status Indicator can only be set for a single activity in a workflow and should be enabled only on a step that will not be skipped by conditions.
  - When an activity with this setting is completed, the Employee Status Indicator is set for the associated new hire and cannot be undone.
  - A reset or undo of the activity will **NOT RESET** the setting of the Employee Status Indicator.
