Hiring Delivery Boys for a Startup: What Formalities Should They Complete First?

I am in a new startup company that operates in the courier service industry. We are currently in the process of hiring delivery boys. In terms of their employment services and operations, what formalities need to be completed promptly from the courier boys' side? This includes receiving the offer and appointment letter from the company and the necessary actions they need to take. Can you provide me with some sample documents to guide us through this process? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Appointment letter or employment letter

An appointment letter or employment letter is itself an agreement or a contract. You can issue an offer of appointment to candidates whose services shall be hired by you. There are templates available on this forum so that you can select a format best suited to your needs.

Documents to collect from candidates

From the side of candidates, you can definitely collect the following documents:

1. A recent and detailed biodata
2. Photographs
3. Documents in support of their educational qualifications
4. Documents in support of their work experience (previous)
5. Copy of their ID proof
