From offer to joining, without a separate file

A selected teacher often waits on email threads for an offer letter, a joining date and a list of documents. HR then types the same details again into the employee record.

Employee onboarding in Ultimate School Manager keeps the offer, the candidate response and the joining checklist together. It sits with HR and payroll, and the employee continues into exit management when they leave.

Staff self-service in the USMConnect app

Key Features

Offers with a secure link

Email the candidate a link. They review the offer, accept it, or decline it with a reason, without an account.

CTC and salary breakup

Enter annual CTC and let USM build a school breakup, or type monthly amounts and keep those figures.

Joining and employee code

After acceptance, record the joining date. USM creates the employee master and generates the employee code.

Document checklist

Required joining documents must be received or waived. Optional papers, such as a previous relieving letter, can stay pending.

Offer, appointment and joining letters

Each school keeps its own templates. Issuing a letter again stores the next version and keeps the earlier copy.

Salary stays restricted

Staff without the salary permission can work on offers but cannot see CTC or issue letters that contain salary.


How It Works

  1. Create an offer with department, designation, nature of employment and dates.
  2. Send the secure link and wait for the candidate to accept or decline.
  3. Record the joining date and collect the required documents.
  4. Issue the appointment and joining letters. The employee master is ready for attendance and payroll.
