- hiring
New hire paperwork is the set of documents an employer gives a person who has accepted a job. It records the terms of the role, protects the company's confidential information and tells the new employee what is expected of them. Getting it organized before the first day helps the new employee start with a clear picture of the job, and gives the company a record of what was agreed.
The usual order is an offer letter first, so the candidate can accept the role in writing. A fuller employment agreement can follow where you want to cover details such as intellectual property assignment, restrictive covenants and termination. Many companies also ask for a confidentiality agreement and share a code of conduct for the employee to read and acknowledge.
This collection brings together the templates for that process. Each one opens ready to fill in. Complete the details, generate a PDF and send it for e-signature with Propper. Sign up with Google or a 6-digit email code and start a 14-day free trial, with no credit card.
What new hire paperwork usually includes
An offer letter that confirms the role, pay, start date and conditions. An employment agreement for the longer terms of the relationship. An employee non-disclosure agreement that protects company information. A code of conduct that sets out expected behavior.
Which of these you need depends on the role and on the rules where you operate, so treat this list as a starting point.
Tips for getting it signed
Send the documents together or in a clear order, so the new hire knows what to expect. Give each one a deadline. Check that the names, pay and dates match across every document before you send them. Keep a signed copy of each in one place.
