Most of the content on this intranet is made up of ex county council information due to the county intranet being turned off. Please read the blog to find out more about how we have developed this new intranet and where you can go to find information that relates to you.
Onboarding and Induction
Information about ensuring you get your staff the access to buildings and systems they need and that you plan to welcome them to Cumberland Council with a thorough induction.
Once all pre-employment clearances have been satisfactorily received:
- managers can confirm that all pre-employment conditions have been met and arrange a start date with the candidate
- recruiting managers should inform the Transactional Recruitment team of the start date on the HR, Payroll and Recruitment Administration Portal
- the transactional team will arrange for the individual’s employment contract to be drawn up and issued
- legally, employment contracts should be received by the individual by the first day of their employment. The team will endeavour to issue this in advance of day one, however this is not always possible
- before any contracts are issued, managers can refer all candidates to our suite of policies, procedures, terms and conditions
- managers should keep in regular contact with their new team member before their start and take the necessary actions to ensure that day 1 (and beyond) runs smoothly.
Please refer to the induction toolkits below for detailed guidance on what to do next.
