On & Off Boarding - Reporting Manager Guide
On & Off Boarding - Reporting Manager Guide
We are excited to announce the launch of our new onboarding and offboarding process in the
Lightwave Support Portal, effective September 16, 2024. This new system is designed to streamline our workflows and enhance our efficiency.
To help you get acquainted with the new process, please review the resources below:
- Pre-Onboarding:
- Candidates are screened in iCIMS.
- Once an offer is accepted or contract signed (Doctors only), Talent Acquisition initiates the background check.
- Candidate completes the background check form.
- Once the background check clears, HR creates the new hire's record in Dayforce.
- Offboarding:
- Reporting Manager submits a Termination form in Dayforce.
- Reporting Manager submits an Offboarding Request to retrieve company property and disable application access.
- All changes are initiated in Dayforce.
- Dayforce sends changes to Active Directory where user accounts are created, disabled, or updated. Click here for more information about Dayforce > Active Directory.
- Active Directory sends changes to the Support Portal to automatically initiate onboarding requests.
- Onboarding requests are emailed to the Reporting Manager listed in Dayforce.
- Tickets are generated once the Reporting Manager completes the onboarding or offboarding request.
- Onboarding and Offboarding Ticket Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
- First Response within 24 business hours
- Resolution within 72 business hours
- To escalate a ticket, respond to the ticket requesting a higher priority level/resolution time via reply to the confirmation email or the Support Portal.

FAQ
How to Cancel an Onboarding Request Form
- Go to the Support Portal home page and scroll to the bottom of the page. Select Onboarding Requests or Offboarding Requests to view requests that are awaiting your action. Click on the request and select Cancel Request.

- If you do not need to request any on or off boarding items, you can disregard the email from help@lightwavedental.com. Requests where no action is taken by the reporting manager will automatically close after 2 weeks.
- Alternatively, if you need to cancel a request that has already been submitted, go to your Open Tickets or search for the request number in the Support Portal, open the request, and select Close Request.

I lost the email for onboarding my employee. What do I do?
- Go to the Support Portal home page and scroll to the bottom of the page. Select Onboarding Requests or Offboarding Requests to view requests that are awaiting your action. Click on the email icon next to your name under Awaiting Information. This will resend the email with the request link.

How to Share Onboarding Request Forms
- You can forward onboarding emails from help@lightwavedental.com to other employees with management authority (e.g., Managers, Directors, VPs, Executives, etc.). They can access the request through the link in the onboarding email.
- To share Onboarding and other approval requests from the Support Portal, set up a delegate.
- Log into https://help.lightwavedental.com/ and click on your initial to access your profile. Select My profile.


- Search for and select your delegate. You can set an end date for temporary access, or leave the end date blank, then select Delegate.

- You and your delegate will now receive onboarding and approval requests. Either you or your delegate can take action on these requests. If one of you processes a request, the other will see that the request was processed and no further action is necessary.
How can reporting managers see the status of their onboarding request at a high level?
- Reporting managers will receive an email confirmation with "Onboarding Request for {employee name} - {Dayforce employee number}" in the subject. This is the 'parent' request that includes every item (and status) that they requested. They can click the link in the confirmation email or go to their Open Tickets in the Support Portal to view the details and get status updates.
Are there any reporting options for status visibility from the Support Portal?
- We are working on building reporting options for onboarding activities; however, our reporting capabilities are limited. Currently, we can report on the number of requests by status, location, department, job title, or reporting manager, as well as average time to complete requests. If you have a high volume of hiring activities, please submit a ticket to help@lightwavedental.com to request a report and include details of the metrics you would like to see.

Where can I find the newly created email address for the new hire?

To find a new hire's email address before the hire date (or before a request for an email address has been submitted):
-
Reporting Managers can find the email address in the original onboarding request. Click the link in the onboarding request email from help@lightwavedental.com to view the employee details, including the email address.
- Note: Email addresses will not be activated (licensed) unless the business email is selected in the onboarding request.
-
Freshservice Agents (IT, HR, RCM, and Marketing) will be able to view the new hire details, including the email address in the description of the ticket.
-
Non-Agents (Accounting, Analytics, Finance, Operations, and Talent Acquisition) will be able to view the ticket details and comments from the Support Portal or through the link in the email notification. If the email address is missing from the ticket details and comments, respond to the ticket to request the information.
