I know my start date but not start time, should I ask?

[Anonymous]

I know next Tue is my start date, but I don't know when is my start time and what things should I bring. It is a 10 people small company, and I have my new boss personal & business contact (email and phone). She mentioned before it is flexible hours in person, but I thought someone will feel me in with detail information ny now.

What documemt do I have to bring in normally for my first job? They ran a background check on me previously. Does HR/payroll need me to bring in social security card or other docs, except driver license? And, should I follow up to ask what time should I be there next week? The last time we talked was late November, and we both have signed offer letter.

Thank you.

Bring your passport for your I-9 and your banking info to set up direct deposit.

I would send an email to your supervisor and ask her what time people typically arrive.

Bring your DL and SS card. Expect they'll give you health insurance stuff to fill out. You can take that home to fill out and bring back if it's not online. Today or tomorrow: Send an email saying

Hello Dorothy,

I'm looking forward to seeing you and beginning work next Tuesday. Shall I arrive at 9am or is there another time everyone at Oz normally begins the work day?

Happy new year,
Glenda

I would not guess the time, because if they begin at 8:30am, you already look like a slacker by suggesting 9am.

I will add that I started at a new agency and was not provided with a start time, I planned on 8:30am and that worked out fine

I would definitely ask although you should have asked this earlier since now you're assuming your boss will be checking her e-mail over the holiday weekend.

If you don't hear anything I would plan on showing up at 8:00 a.m. Yes, it sucks that you might end up having to wait around for people to show up but you don't want to be late on your first day.

I would just ask what time they want you there on the first day. After a long weekend/break like this, they may not want you there until later so they can answer their emails etc

This. I have some new folks starting this week. We typically start the day at 8:15am. I’ve asked them to come at 9:15am so that I’m set up with my own emails and onboarding for them.
