Hiring a New Employee?

The following information is to assist you in ensuring your new hires are aware of the registration requirements for documents. Some documents such as verification of registration from other jurisdictions and transcripts for new graduates, can take anywhere from 6-12 weeks. It is important that these types of documents are requested by the new hire as soon as possible so their application is not delayed.
