Hiring an employee

due to the amount of information we want to collect on a new hire we run two different actions.  1st is the prehire; this is done via PA52.4 and we use the fill defaults button for the majority of the information (PL, Dept, Job Code, Position Code, Security Location & Code, Supervisor, etc).  Next we'll run the PA100 and assign the individual a Lawson ID.  This allows for that employee to flow over to our IT system and the whole process of getting a PC is started.  Once the employee is in Orientation and we have collected various paper forms we complete the Hire action (taxes, I-9 information, EEO/AA information, etc).

What is your process for hiring an individual?

If you use ESS/MSS do pending hires cause any issues?  Do you have workflow built into your ESS/MSS process?
