New hire paperwork: the document checklist

5 named documents, specific enough that a client can act on each one from their phone without asking what you meant.

  1. 01Signed offer letter
  2. 02Completed W-4
  3. 03Completed I-9 with supporting ID
  4. 04Direct deposit form or void cheque
  5. 05Emergency contact details

The list is the easy half.

Getting it answered is the job. Pesterly emails this checklist from your own mailbox, follows up on day 3, 7 and 10 with what's still missing, files every upload into your own Google Drive, and stops by itself when the last item lands.
