Onboarding & Employee Records Kit

Give new employees a clear start and keep essential records organised.

The Onboarding & Employee Records Kit helps you plan a new starter’s arrival, coordinate their first week and track the documents in their employee file. It provides practical templates for small businesses and growing teams.

What’s included

• Employer Guide: Instructions for adapting the templates, assigning responsibilities and keeping employee records organised.

• Onboarding Checklist: Track tasks before the employee starts, on their first day, during their first week and through their first month. Record owners, deadlines, progress and outstanding actions.

• Employee File Index: Record which employment documents you hold, where they are stored and what is missing. Includes sections for access responsibilities and follow-up actions.

• First-Week Plan: Plan the first five working days, agree initial goals, identify support contacts and record the end-of-week discussion.

How to use it

Keep a clean master copy, duplicate the templates for each new employee and adapt the tasks to their role. Share relevant sections with the manager and track outstanding actions through completion.
