The Free Geek Collective ceased to exist on February 28, 2013. For information on current staff, please go to Staff. For detailed information about the re-organization of Free Geek's management structure, please go to 2013_Restructuring_Documents.
This form should be printed out, completed, and placed in the new Collective member's file.
Checklist
When a new collective member is hired there are several steps that need to be performed. It's the buddy's job to make certain these steps are accomplished. Many of these things must be done by other people but it's the buddy's responsibility to make certain that it gets done and that a complete hard copy of this document exists in the new hire's file.
The buddy needs to determine an orientation schedule, and will need to arrange appointments with other collective members who are responsible for parts of the orientation. Some of these tasks need to be done before the new hire's first day so that as many logistical and technical issues are solved before the new worker starts.
Begin by printing out this form: New-hire-checklist.gnumeric.
Fill it out as much as possible. We need to gather the basic information that will be used to make ready user accounts, and such. Walk the form around to the DPP and scheduler to make sure as much information as possible is available. Select a desk and phone extension. Then have a technocrat set up email and other accounts with dummy passwords. On the worker's first day he or she will update the passwords, fill out the HR paperwork, and get situated at a new desk. This is all to make certain that the worker's first day runs smoothly.
