Employee Lifecycle Kit

The whole hire-to-exit process for teams that aren't ready for $250/month HR software

BambooHR publishes flat pricing from $250/month for teams of 25 or fewer; CharlieHR starts at £47/month (5–9 people) — both as published on 2026-09-20. If you're not ready for another subscription, this kit is the process those tools would digitize: onboarding checklists (pre-boarding, day 1, 30-60-90), offboarding with an access-revocation sweep, offer-letter and NDA templates, Excel trackers and a 20-minute weekly routine. One payment of $79 — no subscription.

What's inside the kit

One zip, 18 files: five checklists, three document templates in Word + Markdown, three Excel registers, the HR calendar and the playbook. Nothing to install — it works with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, LibreOffice and Notion.

Onboarding

Pre-boarding → day 1 → week 1

Three checklists with owners and timing: the offer-accepted sprint (equipment, accounts, paperwork, calendar, buddy), the first day hour by hour, and the week-1 retro that fixes whatever broke before the next hire arrives.

Growth

30-60-90 plan — filled example included

The plan template plus a complete worked example for a designer hire: every item observable, checkpoints at days 30/60/90, and exactly what to do when someone is behind. Not a blank skeleton.

Offboarding

Notice → access sweep → handover

One checklist from resignation to the week-after audit: the knowledge-handover doc that starts on day 0 of notice, equipment return against the register, the 13-line access-revocation sweep, final-pay coordination.

Exit interviews

17 questions that produce themes

The script, the ground rules that make people honest, and the "turn it into change" step — because exit interviews that never change anything are worse than not asking.

Templates

Offer letter + NDA + contract skeleton

A complete offer letter with [BRACKET] fields and an acceptance block, a one-page mutual NDA, and the 14-decision employment-contract skeleton — jurisdiction-neutral, with the disclaimer kept visible on every page.

Trackers

3 Excel registers + HR calendar

Employee register with a documents tab, equipment + access registers that drive the offboarding sweep, and the annual/weekly HR rhythm — each with EXAMPLE rows showing exactly how to use it.

What this kit is not

Not legal advice. The templates are jurisdiction-neutral starting points and say so on every page — items marked ⚖ depend on your country's rules and belong in front of a licensed advisor. This kit sells process, never legal validity.

Not software. No app, no seats, no data leaving your drive. The files open in Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, LibreOffice and Notion (import tips included), and your employee data stays yours — the kit's authors never see any of it.

Not an e-signature tool. E-sign became a commodity (DocuSign Personal publishes $11/month, checked 2026-09-20) — so the playbook compares the self-serve options and wires any of them, or plain typed signatures, into the same signing workflow.

How you'll use it

From zip to a running lifecycle system in one afternoon — then it costs 20 minutes a week.

1
Hour 1 — set up

Registers, folder, calendar

Replace the EXAMPLE rows in the two Excel registers with your real team, copy the folder + naming convention from the playbook, and put the weekly 20-minute rhythm into your shared calendar.

2
First hire — run the checklists

Offer → pre-boarding → day 1

Send the offer-letter template, run the pre-boarding checklist with owners and dates, and give your new hire a first week with a small real task instead of a wiki and a shrug.

3
First exit — sweep everything

Handover → access sweep → audit

Start the handover doc on day 0 of notice, run the 13-line access sweep on the last day, audit it again a week later — then ask the 17 exit-interview questions and fix one thing.

One price. You own the process.

No monthly plan, no per-seat fee, no subscription — that's what the HR software tier is for.

Frequently asked questions

Is this another HRIS like BambooHR or CharlieHR?

No — and on purpose. Those systems publish $250/month flat (BambooHR, teams ≤25) and from £47/month (CharlieHR, 5–9 people), as of 2026-09-20; Zoho People starts at $1.25/employee/month for the tier that includes onboarding. The kit is the missing middle: the process and documents themselves, running in tools you already pay for — and the registers import into any HRIS later if you outgrow them.

What exactly do I get?

An 18-file zip: five checklists (pre-boarding, day 1/week 1, 30-60-90 with a filled example, offboarding with the access sweep, the exit-interview script), offer letter + mutual NDA + contract skeleton in DOCX and Markdown, three Excel registers with EXAMPLE rows, the HR calendar, the HRIS-lite playbook and your license. No software, nothing to install.

Will this make us compliant with labor law in my country?

No product can honestly promise that, and you should be skeptical of any that does. The templates are jurisdiction-neutral with [BRACKET] fields and ⚖ marks showing exactly which items depend on local rules — so a licensed advisor in your country reviews a drafted document in minutes, not hours. The process itself (who does what, when, in which order) is universal.

Do I need e-signature software?

No. For a few hires a year, typed or printed signatures are enough in many places — verify once locally (⚖). If you sign more often, the playbook compares self-serve options: DocuSign Personal at $11/month, Zoho Sign in the Zoho suite, PandaDoc and others (checked 2026-09-20). The workflow — template, fields, executed PDF into the employee folder — is identical in every tool.

What is the refund policy?

If the kit doesn't fit how you work, write to us within 14 days of purchase and we refund in full — the files are yours to keep or delete. One refund per purchase; we only ask for optional feedback.

Do I get updates?

Yes — every v1.x update (new checklist items, template fixes, tracker improvements) is free. Re-download any time from your download page with your email and password.
