Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs you enter, by the method stated below it. The only constants HeadcountDesk supplies are the published federal payroll tax rates and the overtime multiplier, each cited where it is used. The defaults are a worked example to replace with your own.
A new employee introduction is three things on day one: the email to the team with the name, the role, the manager and the first work; the walk round or the calls with the people the new hire will work with, each a name and a reason; and the named person who will answer anything for the first month. It is an item on the onboarding checklist, with an owner. The onboarding checklist on this site lists it with the rest of week one, free and without an account; HeadcountDesk Pro records it done.

Name, role, start date, manager, first project, one line they agreed to share. From the manager, short.
The people, with reasons
Each introduction with why: this is who you will hand work to, this is who approves expenses, this is who knows the system. A reason makes the name stick.
The named person
One person for anything, for a month, on the calendar. The onboarding checklist names them.
