Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Ask your own →
What documents does a new employee need?
Typically a contract, tax file number declaration, super choice form, the Fair Work Information Statement and any policies they need to read.
Can onboarding be done online?
Yes. We can set up digital onboarding in Employment Hero or similar software.
How long should onboarding last?
It depends on the role. Good onboarding continues past the first day, through to the end of probation.
Do you run inductions for us?
We can design the program and run sessions, or train your managers to run them.
Is a safety induction required?
Employers must give workers the information and training they need to work safely, so a safety induction is essential.
Can you help with remote onboarding?
Yes. We design onboarding that works for remote and hybrid staff too.
