+
+# Employee On-boarding
+
+Follow this checklist so that new joiners have a reasonably smooth experience getting started. Most items should be completed on the person's start date or later. It will take some back-and-forth with the employee to get everything set up.
+
+# Before Start Date
+
+## Inform the Team
+
+- Make an announcement on the #announcements Slack channel
+  - Name, role, start date
+
+## Purchase Equipment
+
+- Order a computer, delivered to the employee's home office
+  - Give the employee a budget (e.g., $3,500 US) and freedom to choose something appropriate for their type of work.
+
+## Make sure employment paperwork is complete
+
+- The recruiter may have primary responsiblity for this. Doesn't hurt to double-check and help if the joiner needs a nudge to finish or has questions.
+
+# On or After Start Date
+
+## Set up Accounts
+
+- G-Suite
+  - create email account: first_name @ koor.tech
+    - keep password safe - have employee change it immediately
+  - add to groups
+    - Employees
+- 1Password
+  - Add as team member
+- Slack
+- Linear
+- GitHub
+- Zoom
+- Calendly, for anyone who might meet with customers or conduct interviews
+
+## Invite to Meetings
+
+- Weekly meetings
+  - Progress review and planning
+  - Watercoolers
+  - 1-1 with manager
+
+## Other Considerations
+
+- Company credit card - only if needed
+
+## Introductory Assignments
+
+To make sure you are set up for the systems we use, try to accomplish these tasks.
+
+- Send an email to yourself from your Koor email account.
+  - Adjust your settings and add a signature
+- Make an update to this handbook
+  - You will need to set up your git account to sign your commits
+  - You will also need to learn some conventions for checking in, like using a well-formatted commit message
+  - You will go through the PR process
+  - Finally, you will learn how to propose changes to our practices and their documentation
