Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it email or nudge the new hire?
No. WebRun never contacts the employee and never resends an onboarding invitation. It reports what is missing to your HR channel and, when a pay date is at risk, messages the hiring manager.
Does it change anything in Justworks?
No. It only reads employee records, onboarding status, and pay period dates. Every action, including chasing paperwork or approving payroll, stays with your HR team.
How does it know a step is done?
It reads the live status in Justworks each morning, so a step completed yesterday drops off today's list without anyone ticking it manually.
