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

In Canada, for example, that can come in the form of a work permit or a PR visa. Until that visa has been officially granted, the new hire isn’t allowed to start working despite being, on paper, a part of the company.

But sometimes, these authorizations can take longer than expected and delay the timing for the new hire’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 authorization. When an employee is waiting for their work authorization, Rippling will automatically send a notification to their hiring manager to let them know.
