Do I need to include the employee's SSN when submitting the Full Hire Template prior to the employee's first day?

The Full Hire Template can be submitted without the SSN so long as the department explains the reason for not including it in the template's comment box. The comment should explain that the SSN will be updated via the Personal Data Change Template on the employee's start date. However, if you choose not to include the SSN, you must complete the DOB to help identify the new employee, should the same name already exist in the UCPath system.
