Employee onboarding checklist
Everything to do before and after a new starter joins, tailored to the type of employment.
Answer three questions and get a dated checklist from before day one to the three-month review: contracts and Fair Work information statements, TFN and super forms, payroll, safety induction, training and reviews. Tick items off as you go.
You will need
- The start date and type of employment
How it works
Items are grouped by stage. Your answers decide which items apply (for example the Casual Employment Information Statement only for casuals). With a start date, each stage gets a due date.
Assumptions
- Written for national system employers under the Fair Work Act, as most private businesses are.
- Requirements reviewed on 6 November 2026.
Limitations
- General information, not legal or HR advice. Check your award or agreement and the Fair Work Ombudsman for your situation.
