PrintOn the Employee's First Day
When the employee arrives on the first day of work, some of the first things to do are:
- Show the employee where his or her work area will be.
- Show the employee where he or she can store personal effects safely, if not at a desk.
- Give the employee a tour of your workplace, pointing out the restrooms, break room, supply room or area, and first aid kit.
- Introduce the employee to any other employees or workers.

At some point in the first few hours that the employee is at work, you should:
- Process any employment forms.
- Give the employee the information that you have gathered and explain what each piece of material is.
- Tell the employee that you are available for questions after the employee has reviewed the material.
- Arrange for lunch (if you like) with the employee and any other coworkers.
