New start checklist

Preparation for the arrival of a new employee should begin as soon as their appointment is confirmed. To avoid disruption and delays, managers should make sure arrangements are in place for the employees first day such as:-

• Ordering their identification badge, uniform, PPE.
• Arranging access to email, telephone, council network and all relevant IT systems and equipment;
• Being available to meet them at reception on their first day, or arranging for another team member greet them;
• ensuring they have a clean and tidy workspace;
• chasing up any outstanding recruitment paperwork, for example, bank mandate and P45
• planning the employee’s first day and arranging their induction.

On their first day of employment, all new employees will be asked to complete the Onboarding Journey through Oracle Fusion. This is a checklist of activities for new employees and their managers. The purpose is to ensure all the necessary arrangements have been made to get them started in their new job. Please do not wait for the checklist to be issued, it’s important to be prepared in advance.
