Your onboarding process

The onboarding process begins with a screening process. Like all financial institutions in the Netherlands, Rabobank screens prospective employees. The screening procedure aims to find out whether you are sufficiently reliable as an employee. Before the screening, you will automatically receive an e-mail with instructions. The screening must be completed before your first working day.

In addition to the screening procedure, we would like to conduct an ID check before you start working. We verify whether your identification document is valid and genuine. For this, we ask you to take a photo of your ID. You will also automatically receive an email with instructions for this. Please also keep an eye on your spam and junk mail folders.

After the screening and ID check, we will need some additional information from you that is important for your salary payment. For this, you will receive 2 emails from us containing your username and a temporary password for the Workday system. In Workday, you will find several tasks ready for you to provide this information. You can find these onboarding tasks in your Workday inbox. By using the login credentials, you will have access to the tasks until your first working day. It is important to complete these tasks ultimately in the first week of the month in which you start, note the weekend is excluded.

You have received your employment contract via our Recruitment and employee system and signed it digitally. Your employment contract has then been automatically saved in your employee profile, where you can also find the contract. If, in exceptional cases, you have received the contract by email, we will ensure that your contract is added to your employee profile.

Managing your payment choices is the first onboarding task in your Inbox. Here you will provide your bank account number for the payment of your salary.

Check whether your address information is correct in our system. If correct, the task can be completed.

Check whether your personal information is correct in our system. If correct, the task can be completed.

In this step, you will enter the document number of your EU identity card or EU passport if it has not yet been recorded by the personnel administration. If you have a visa, enter your visa details. Then upload a copy of the front and back of your identity card, passport, or visa. Note: a driver’s license is not accepted!

You enter your citizen service number (BSN) in the “Process government IDs” step. In this step we need a copy of the front and back of your (Dutch) passport or ID document as proof. Without this information you will be designated as an anonymous employee, including the associated higher (anonymous) tax rate.

Your wage tax is automatically applied as stated in your employment contract.

In this task, you will confirm the applied wage tax credit and start date once more. If you choose not to apply the wage tax credit or to apply it from a different start date than your start date, you will receive a follow-up task.

Feel free to contact your manager by email or phone. If you do not have this information, please ask the recruiter for it.

Please contact your manager. Only by appointment and in consultation can smartcards be created at the location specified in the appointment confirmation. Do not forget: to bring the identification document you used for your screening when picking up your smartcard (no driver’s license).

Consult with your manager to see if you are eligible for a laptop. Pickup is only possible after notification from your manager. Your manager will order your laptop and schedule an appointment for this. The laptop can be picked up at the location, date, and time specified in the appointment confirmation.

Bring your ID that you are registered/screened with to this appointment. Without this ID, no smart card can be created and you cannot start working.

Do you have a nationality of a country outside the EU/EEA? Then also bring your visa (work and residence permit) with you to the appointment. Don't have these yet? Then bring the letter from the IND stating that the visa will be issued.

In order to be able to connect to the Rabobank network from home as well, it is important that you log in to the Rabobank network at the office the first time. So do this first before you go home again. The colleagues at the service desk can help you with this.

Who will accompany me on my first day of work?

On your first day, your buddy will be there to welcome you and show you around. This can be your manager or a teammate. Haven't heard about this yet? Ask the recruiter.
