Advice from people in your shoes
“Some advice that I would give to new starters would be to not be afraid of going into a new job, be confident in the role you have applied for and are working towards, and apply yourself as much as you can in order to learn as much as you can in a short space of time.”
On your first day
Arrive at the office at an agreed upon time with your manager
Ensure you bring with you your:
Bank account details, where you would like your pay deposited
Tax File Number - Australian employees
Superannuation fund information (if you wish to choose your own fund) - Australian employees
IRD - New Zealand employees
If you want to bring your own lunch/snacks, we have all the cutlery and crockery you might need, plus fridges and microwaves

On your first day make your way to reception and have them notify your manager that you have arrived. Your manager
will come and meet you to take you to your work area and to meet the team. On the compliance side, there are some
compulsory training modules to complete to understand your personal responsibilities. These will set you up with plenty of
useful information. Your manager will have prepared an onboarding plan which will include time to meet colleagues and
learn about the company and your role. What we want from you is an eagerness to learn, lots of questions and for you to
tell us what you need to make you successful.

We are paid on the 15th of every month unless that date is a weekend or public holiday, in which case we are paid the
working day prior. Our salary represents two weeks in arrears and two weeks in advance. If your employment begins after
the 6th of the month you will be paid for the first time the following month. This will include any back pay as necessary. So
that we can pay you, ensure that on your second day you complete the tasks assigned to you in our HR system,
‘Workday’.

A professional business dress code is the normal dress standard in our offices. Our nominated casual day is Friday where you can wear more casual clothing. We want you to use common sense and good judgment in determining what to wear to work, and encourage you to choose your outfit based on your day’s schedule, location and environment. For example, if you are meeting with clients or external partners we expect you to dress appropriately and that your dress reflects the highest dress standards of the client, even if you are meeting them on a Friday. If you are working from home, you may choose to dress more casually that day.
Always use good judgment and steer clear of clothing that is inappropriate for work. Listed below are some examples of items that are not suitable for the office. It's not exhaustive, but hopefully provides you with some guidance:
