Running the Business · Part 6
Template: the new-hire packet index
Lesson 11 of 12~4 minFree previewCurrent as of September 2026
A one-page index of what goes into the packet every new employee receives and signs on the first day, in the order to hand it over, with the source of each form, so the packet is printed the night before and the personnel file is complete by the end of the day. It is the companion to the hiring checklist.
What the full lesson covers
- Print the packet from the agencies' current forms; agencies revise them and the old version is the wrong version.
- The employee signs the acknowledgments and keeps copies; the I-9 goes in its own folder; everything else in the personnel file.
- The IIPP and heat training sign-ins are in the packet so that day one produces the training record 8 CCR 3203 requires.
- Add the shop's own documents: the offer, the handbook acknowledgment, the truck stock list, the job-site checklist.
