People · Onboarding and identity

New colleague? Complete within ten minutes, without paper.

Add an employee and Curbo starts digital onboarding. They fill in their personal details, scan their ID and bank card with the app, and sign the payroll tax statement (loonheffingsverklaring) and their contract. HR sees how far each person has got and checks the documents with a checklist.

  • Personal details, BSN and IBAN entered by the employee
  • Scan passport, ID card and bank card with the app
  • Payroll tax statement signed digitally
  • VOG for roles that require one
What it does

Onboarding and identity, part by part.

1

Six steps

Personal details, proof of identity, bank card, payroll tax statement, signing the contract and (where needed) the VOG (certificate of conduct). HR chooses per organisation or per person which steps apply.

2

Scanning with the app

A frame that fits the document, cropping, and a check first that everything is legible. The photo does not go into the photo gallery and is deleted after sending. Screenshots are blocked on that screen.

3

Secure and GDPR-compliant

Location and other data are stripped from the photo before it is stored encrypted. A bank card photo and a VOG file are deleted after the check; proof of identity five years after employment ends. The employee can see every time HR viewed their documents.

4

Checking with a checklist

HR views the document with a watermark, ticks 'original seen' and enters the document number and expiry date. Rejecting is only possible with a reason, which the employee sees straight away.

5

Payroll tax statement

Payroll tax credit yes or no, from a given date, signed with their own name. HR downloads the statement as a PDF for the payroll bureau, and the payroll run includes it as a change.

6

Reminders

Two and five days after the invitation and two days before the start date, the employee receives one combined reminder. In Curbo thinks along, HR sees who starts within a week and is not ready yet.

7

Expiry dates

An ID that is about to expire or a VOG that needs renewing: Curbo flags it 60 and 14 days in advance, to the employee and to HR.

8

Onboarding path

After onboarding, the onboarding path begins: a tour, house rules, courses and an introductory meeting, with who ticks off what.

    Ready for day one: the employee is notified that their file is complete.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

Is a scanned ID GDPR-compliant?

An employer must establish an employee's identity and keep a copy with the payroll records. Curbo stores it encrypted, without metadata, visible only to HR and with a log the employee can see. After the retention period, Curbo deletes it automatically.

Can an employee do this without the app?

Yes. In the web application you upload a photo or PDF; scanning with the frame is only available in the app.

What if someone already works for us?

Then HR starts onboarding manually and chooses which steps are needed. Reminders to existing employees are only sent if HR chooses to.
