New Starter Onboarding Checklist

A complete checklist for onboarding a new employee, from the moment they accept your offer to the end of their probation. It combines the legal must-dos (right to work, written statement, payroll, pension, data, health and safety) with the practical steps that help people settle in and stay.

• For every new employee, and adapted for workers, apprentices and returners
• As a shared tracker between the manager, HR or office manager and payroll
• As evidence that induction and training were completed

• Fill in the starter details and name the person responsible for each stage
• Tick each item as it is done and add the date in the tracker table
• Remove items that do not apply to your business
• File the completed checklist on the personnel file
