• Keep Veeco's people data accurate and trustworthy by processing HR and employee information in SuccessFactors and SAP and maintaining data integrity across systems, including E-Verify and Weichert relocation.
• Process E-Verify and I-9 forms accurately and on time.
• Clear every new hire to start by ensuring background checks and all new-hire paperwork are complete before the start date.
