How to work this page

Send onboarding ahead of the start date

Paperwork done before day one means day one is about the job.

Set classification and pay basis correctly

Exempt or non-exempt, salaried or hourly. It determines overtime eligibility and getting it wrong creates back pay liability.

Let them complete their own W-4

The elections are theirs. Completing it for somebody puts the responsibility in the wrong place.

Complete I-9 section two on time

You examine their documents within the statutory window. The deadline is shown rather than assumed.

On a phone

Add an employee on iPhone 15 Pro Max

Every figure from the desktop appears here, stacked rather than reduced. Tables scroll inside themselves so the page never moves sideways, and figures keep their separators and their alignment at every width.

Questions people actually ask

What if somebody starts before the paperwork is done?

They can work, and the I-9 deadline still runs from their first day. Do not let it slip.

Where do the documents live?

The Vault, restricted, with access recorded. Identifiers are encrypted and appear in full only in required filings.
