Before an employee can work in a country that they’re neither a citizen nor a permanent visa holder to, they must first obtain legal authorisation from that country to be able to do so.

In the UK, for example, that can come in the form of a Skilled Worker visa, which is typically applied for by the employer on behalf of the person they want to hire. Until that visa has been officially granted, the new joiner isn’t allowed to start working despite being, on paper, a part of the company.

But sometimes, these authorisations can take longer than expected, and delay the timing for the new joiner’s start. In those cases, it’s important to let their hiring manager know, so they can make arrangements for onboarding to be postponed, and work to be reassigned if needed.

With this Recipe, you’ll be able to keep your hiring manager aware of delays with their new hire’s authorisation. When an employee is waiting for their work authorisation, Rippling will automatically send a notification to their hiring manager to let them know.

Want to add more details to your notification? As with all our workflow Recipes, you can customise this template to your exact needs, including when it should trigger, what the action should be, who it should go to, and more.
