Annual Review questions - so that you don't get stuck at the "Everything going well?" stage.
Eye Test Request Form so that you know how often your employees will need their eyes tested.
Favourite Interview Questions to try and find out the suitability of the candidates with open questions.
Employee Information Sheet to gather all information for payroll and to protect your business against identity fraud and unwittingly employing illegal workers.
Sickness Form to make sure that there is a written record of sickness absence, letting you know if there are any underlying issues (stress, bad management, etc) that have not been mentioned but which are affecting performance.
Holiday absence form so that you have a paper trail to minimise any discussions at the end of the holiday year about remaining entitlement.
Induction feedback template This should be used at the end of the first week and first month to give you feedback on how the process can be changed to make it better for the next person. Especially useful is knowing what information they need to work effectively during the first month and what can wait till later.
