Onboarding Policy – Welcome to Progressivebyte Ltd.

(a.k.a. “Congrats, You’re Hired… Now Here’s the Real Work”)

1. First Things First – The Email Saga  #

• You’ll create your official work email in this format: name.progressivebyte@gmail.com.
• Alright folks, let’s keep it simple.
  We love you, we trust you, but hey—trust works better when written on paper. That’s why you’ll be asked to sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) the moment you step in.
• Why? Because our clients, projects, and secret sauces aren’t meant to be whispered over tea breaks or shared with your “cousin’s startup idea.”
  
• Yes, Gmail. Yes, with our name. No, you can’t change it to “cooldude420” or “queenofdesign”.
• This is where the ‘serious’ mails land… and where HR shows their love by spamming you into adding your fingerprint.
  

2. Paperwork Party – HR’s Favorite Hobby  #

• Hand over your IDs, certificates, references, emergency contact (name, phone, relationship) — basically everything HR needs to confirm you’re not a spy and can be rescued if you vanish.
• HR loves shiny records, so they can prove to the government that you actually exist.
  
• Hand in your pretty photo (soft + hard), or HR will just Photoshop you into a meme.
  
• Sign your appointment letter (digital + physical), otherwise you don’t really exist in this office.
  
• Don’t worry, your embarrassing college photos won’t be requested (probably).

3. The Official Swag – ID & Accessories  #

• You’ll get your shiny ID card (don’t lose it, HR will cry).
  
• Depending on your role, you’ll also receive:
  
  • Laptop/desktop
  • keyboard, mouse, or other accessories
  • Maybe even stationery if you’re into old-school vibes
    
• Reminder: All this belongs to the company. If you quit, we’ll hunt you down for that mouse.
  

4. Orientation – The “Welcome to the Family” Lecture  #

• HR will give you a warm welcome (with rules you’ll pretend to remember).
  
• You’ll learn about our culture, values, and why we think we’re awesome.
  

5. Meet the Crew  #

• You’ll be introduced to your team, manager, and the “buddy” assigned to babysit you for the first 90 days.
  
• This is the person you ask questions like:
  
  • “Where’s the coffee machine?”
    
  • “How do I file leaves?”
    
  • “Is it normal for Pumble to ping 200 times a day?”
    

6. Tools of the Trade  #

• You’ll get access to all the important platforms:
  
  • Create your Pumble and GitHub accounts, then hand them over to HR—because apparently, you don’t officially exist until HR has your digital soul.
    • You should update your pumble profile with your role title, email and phone number so that everyone can get your contact details by looking at your profile. Here’s is format you should use:
    • Format:
    • Title: Your Job Role [your progressive byte email address]
    • Phone: your phone number
    • Example:
    • Title: WordPress Developer [abcd@xyz.com]
    • Phone: 01823456789
      
  • Project management tools (Mostly Github but sometimes Jira, Trello, Asana, depending on your team)
    
• “Congrats, you got the job! Now prove you’re a real human hand over your NID/Passport, certificates, photos, previous job release (if you didn’t ghost them), and any other ‘HR museum papers’ we ask for. Forget one, and guess what? You’re still on ‘guest trial mode’.”

7. The Probation Plot Twist  #

• Probation period? Oh that’s a mystery solved only by company policy a.k.a. “the holy book.”
  
• Whatever your offer letter says — 3 months, 6 months, or eternity — that’s your destiny, buddy.
• During probation, you won’t really get the “full deal” — the company decides how much of your salary you deserve (because apparently, HR also moonlights as fortune-tellers).
  
• The actual percentage? Totally at the mercy of company policy. Could be a lot, could be less basically, you’ll know when you see your bank balance.
• Survive probation → Congrats, you’re permanent + full salary unlocked.
  

8. The “Do’s” and “Don’ts”  #

Do:

• Show up on time.
  
• Ask questions, learn fast, and join the fun.
  
• Take your work seriously (but not yourself).
  

Don’t:

• Spam HR with “how many leaves do I have left?” every week.
  
• Disappear without telling anyone (we’re not detectives).
  
• Try to “borrow” your work laptop after quitting (we have your address).
  

9. Final Words #

Onboarding isn’t about scaring you—it’s about setting you up so you don’t feel lost on Day 1.
What We Want:

• You feel welcome (and a little excited).
  
• Work to run smoothly without drama.
  
• Everyone knows who’s who, and who does what.
  

What We Don’t Want:

• New hires wandering around like lost puppies.
  
• Missing documents that turn HR into Sherlock Holmes.
  
• People think onboarding = free coffee and nothing else.
  

Pro Tip: Ask questions, explore, and get to know your team. And remember — everyone was new once. (Even your manager, though they’ll never admit it.)
