Welcome!
Thank you for choosing Alight as your employer.
​​​​​​​Let's get started on what to expect next.
Step 1: 
Accept your offer and acknowledge other hire documents.

  • You will receive an email from “alight@myworkday.com", the subject of the email is “Congratulations!  Your Offer Documents for Employment with Alight are Awaiting your Action”.  
  • Please log in to your Alight Workday Inbox and navigate to "Candidate Home" and Sign In (upper right corner)
      Please note:
  • If you don’t remember the password you used when you applied to the role and/or created a Workday account, please click “Forgot Password”, DO NOT create a new account. If you are unable to log into your Workday account, please contact your recruiter immediately.
  • If you did not previously create a Workday account when you applied, you will have a separate email with the subject: “Create an account for your recent application” from alight@myworkday.com. You must create an account to view your offer documents.  If you can't find this email or are having issues, please contact your recruiter.
​​Navigate to "My Tasks" and click the Review button
Review all 3 documents:
  • Guidelines Regarding Ethical Conduct 
  • Your Offer Letter (be sure to download and save a copy for your records)

Step 2:
Begin the background check process

Your offer of employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check administered by our vendor, HireRight.   Please note that your background information must be submitted within 48 hours of receiving the HireRight email (see below).  

Here’s what to expect next:
  • Within 24 business hours of accepting your offer documents you will receive an email from HireRight (noreply@hireright.com) - check your SPAM/Junk folder too.
  • Follow the link in the email to login to HireRight’s secure website immediately.
  • Complete all requested information promptly. You MUST complete and submit your information within 48 hours of receiving the email from HireRight. You will be unable to submit your information after the 48-hour deadline which may delay your start date. 
  • Be sure to use a physical address, and not a PO box.

If you receive a call or email from a HireRight representative (customerservice@hireright.com) or a member of Alight’s Human Resources team (gpo@alight.com) during the verification process, please return the call or email as soon as possible to avoid delaying the verification process. 
Step 3:
Request for additional information

  • You will receive an email from alight@myworkday.com with the subject “Request for Additional Information”. 
  • Please login to your Alight Workday Account and enter your identifying personal information. This information is required for payroll, benefits, etc.

    • National ID (which is most commonly your Social Security Number or other similar US Individual Taxpayer Identificaion Number (ITIN)).
    • Do not add a Government ID.
*Note - Only the National ID is required.  A passport or other identifying number is NOT needed.

  • Click "OK" at the bottom
Back at the My Tasks screen,
  • Click the "Start" button
  • ​​​​​​Complete all the required fields marked with an *
  • Click "Submit"
Step 4:
Complete your I-9 Process

To comply with federal law, you must complete a two-step "I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification" form. You should complete both steps prior to your start date. Federal law requires that you complete Section 1 no later than the first day of employment and Section 2 within three business days of the first day of employment.  

You will receive an email from AlightHRCompliance@alight.com prior to your start date, the email will contain a link and directions on completing both sections.

  • Section 1 - Complete online before your first day of employment at Alight (this step should take less than five minutes to complete). 
  • Section 2 - You must schedule an appointment at a Performance Assessment Network center to verify your identity. We recommend you schedule your appointment as soon as possible. Appointments typically require at least a 24-hour notice and should be scheduled for a date prior to your start date.  If you are unable to secure an appointment prior to your start date, please email AlightHRCompliance@alight.com for an alternative solution.

If you have questions about this process or if you do not receive the Alight I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form prior to your start date, please email AlightHRCompliance@alight.com.
