A new employee welcome email does four things in a few paragraphs: says when and where to arrive and who will meet them, lists what to bring for the I-9 and the forms, names the person they can ask anything, and links to what they should read before day one, the handbook above all. It is sent from the manager, not from a system, and it is the first item on the onboarding checklist that the new hire sees. The onboarding checklist on this site lists it with the rest, free and without an account; HeadcountDesk Pro sends it and records it.

The logistics
Start date, time, address or the video link, parking or the entry, who meets them, what the first day looks like. The paragraph that removes the first-morning anxiety.
What to bring and what to read
The I-9 documents by name, the forms to complete, the handbook to read and acknowledge before they arrive. The free employee handbook template on this site produces the handbook; the checklist lists the forms.
The person to ask
One name, one email, one phone number, for anything. Not the HR inbox; a person.
Sent by the manager, recorded on the checklist
From the manager's own address, in their own words, and ticked on the onboarding checklist so nobody wonders whether it went. From the vendors' own pricing pages: Homebase lists Essentials at $24 per location per month billed annually or $30 monthly, with a free Basic plan for one location of up to ten employees; BambooHR lists Core at $10 and Pro at $17 per employee per month; Deputy lists Core at $6.50 per user per month. HeadcountDesk Pro is $24 a month per location.
