Problema Solution

You are trying to plan a start date for a new hire in your group. Today is Wednesday, August 22. You plan to extend the offer to the candidate today and need to enter a start date into the system. The background check will take 5-10 days to clear, and then you need 2-4 days to coordinate planning prior to the start date. You have to have your new hire’s start date be a Monday. What is the earliest Monday that your new hire could start?

5-10 days background check to clear

2-4 days to coordinate planning prior to the start date


it will take 7 - 14 days to set the new hire's start date.


thus the earliest day that you can set the new hire's start date will be in 7 days


From Wednesday, August 22 till Monday, August 27 there are 5 days - not enough to set the new hire's start date


the Monday after Monday, August 27 is Monday, September 1 (since August has 31 day) the earliest day to set the new hire's start date.
