00:00:00.350 --> 00:00:02.282
Welcome to Calder & Rowe Architects.

2
00:00:02.282 --> 00:00:09.741
In the next few minutes you'll see what happens in your first five days, how to get set up, and the few rules everyone follows from day one.

3
00:00:09.741 --> 00:00:11.941
Don't worry about remembering everything:

4
00:00:11.941 --> 00:00:14.341
your buddy and manager are there to help.

5
00:00:14.691 --> 00:00:20.640
Before you start, People Team will email you your start time, the office door code and your buddy's name.

6
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:24.679
Bring photo ID and your bank details so payroll can set you up.

7
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:30.974
Your laptop will be waiting on your desk, or sent by courier two days before if you work from home on day one.

8
00:00:31.324 --> 00:00:37.656
On Monday, arrive at 9:30 for an office tour, laptop set-up with IT and lunch with your team.

9
00:00:37.656 --> 00:00:41.468
Tuesday, you agree your first 90-day goals with your manager.

10
00:00:41.468 --> 00:00:47.845
Wednesday brings a 45-minute health and safety induction, plus a site tour if your role visits sites.

11
00:00:47.845 --> 00:00:50.000
Thursday, you shadow a colleague.

12
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.443
Friday, check in with your buddy, then join team lunch at 12:30.

13
00:00:54.793 --> 00:00:56.733
Set-up happens in four steps.

14
00:00:56.733 --> 00:01:04.896
First, sign in with IT's temporary password, choose your own and turn on two-step sign-in, or you can't open project files.

15
00:01:04.896 --> 00:01:11.598
Next, add your photo and title to email and chat, and join #announcements and your team channel.

16
00:01:11.598 --> 00:01:17.318
Then record your time against a project code daily, because clients are billed by the hour.

17
00:01:17.318 --> 00:01:20.176
Finally, finish the payroll form by Wednesday.

18
00:01:20.526 --> 00:01:22.840
Two small habits keep the money side running.

19
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.799
Your timesheet takes about two minutes, so fill it in by the end of each day.

20
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:33.077
And if your new starter form is in by Wednesday, you'll be paid in the next run, with pay day on the 25th of each month.

21
00:01:33.427 --> 00:01:35.630
Your working week is 37.5 hours.

22
00:01:35.630 --> 00:01:41.620
Core hours run from 10:00 to 16:00, and you agree how to fit the rest with your manager.

23
00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:43.970
You'll be in the office at least three days a week.

24
00:01:43.970 --> 00:01:48.181
And you get 25 days of holiday a year, plus public holidays.

25
00:01:48.531 --> 00:01:51.894
Tuesdays and Thursdays are team days, when everyone is in.

26
00:01:51.894 --> 00:01:55.829
Request holiday in the People portal at least two weeks ahead.

27
00:01:55.829 --> 00:02:00.084
If you're ill, message your manager before 9:30 on the first day.

28
00:02:00.084 --> 00:02:02.808
You won't need a doctor's note for the first seven days.

29
00:02:03.158 --> 00:02:06.113
In week one, ask your buddy about anything at all.

30
00:02:06.113 --> 00:02:14.100
For laptops, passwords and software, go to the IT help desk on #it-help or extension 200.

31
00:02:14.100 --> 00:02:18.564
Questions about pay, holiday or contracts go to People Team by email.

32
00:02:18.564 --> 00:02:21.699
And for your work and priorities, talk to your manager.

33
00:02:22.049 --> 00:02:24.512
Three rules apply from your very first day.

34
00:02:24.512 --> 00:02:29.494
Lock your screen whenever you leave your desk, because client drawings are confidential.

35
00:02:29.494 --> 00:02:33.922
Never share your password, even with IT, who will never ask for it.

36
00:02:33.922 --> 00:02:36.015
And wear your site safety gear:

37
00:02:36.015 --> 00:02:40.402
no hard hat and boots means no site visit, with no exceptions.

38
00:02:40.752 --> 00:02:45.440
Beyond week one, you'll have check-ins with your manager at 30, 60 and 90 days.

39
00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:46.642
These aren't a test.

40
00:02:46.642 --> 00:02:51.170
They're a chance for questions in both directions, so bring yours along.

41
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:52.170
To recap:

42
00:02:52.170 --> 00:02:56.003
arrive Monday at 9:30 with photo ID and bank details.

43
00:02:56.003 --> 00:02:58.799
Secure your sign-in and fill in timesheets daily.

44
00:02:58.799 --> 00:03:03.388
Remember core hours of 10 to 4 and team days on Tuesday and Thursday.

45
00:03:03.388 --> 00:03:05.514
And when in doubt, ask your buddy.
