When you start onboarding at a company, the Admin (or HR manager) will invite you to activate your account into the system. Before the official join date, you only can see the Onboarding task(s) in the Checklists, Documents, and your profile.
On the official join date, you will be able to access other modules (Dashboard, News, Employee, Time Off, and Attendance).
π Note: Before the official Join date, you will not receive notification/reminder emails about the data that you cannot access (e.g., News).
