Modified: 12 Oct 2026 Viewpoint HR Management for Spectrum Human Resources HR and Employee Help

If a new hire's status is Invited, you can update their personal information or add a note to their onboarding record.

An HR specialist must have the Manage New Hires permission to edit a new hire's personal information.
Note: New hires provide personal information, including name, email address, and phone number, as the first step in the onboarding process. Some personal information prefills based on the onboarding invitation. If the I-9, W-4, or TD1 forms are included as onboarding tasks, the new hire's personal information prefills portions of those forms. If a new hire needs to change their information after submitting their forms, see Allow a New Hire to Edit Submitted Forms.
