Hi Roopika,
The induction manual depends on many factors. Many cases are being discussed regarding this on this site. Unless one knows your organization thoroughly, it is very difficult to suggest one, as it will have a direct effect on the introduction, socialization, and metamorphosis process.
However, pre-joining formalities depend on many internal factors, but there are some statutory requirements, such as:
1. Get ESI Form 1 filled.
2. Get PF nomination forms filled out.
3. Get all certificates and testimonials verified with originals personally.
4. Get a release letter from the previous employer (It is a must and a very important part; else, you may face legal hassles for providing double employment).
5. Get a joining report signed by the new joiner during the joining process.
The rest depends on your internal policies, such as the medical certificate of fitness, etc.
Regards,
Dr. M. Das
