Efficient onboarding is crucial for setting new employees up for success. At openHR, we understand the importance of a smooth and comprehensive onboarding process, which is why we've introduced standard employee information forms that simplify the process for both HR departments and new hires.
Simplified Onboarding Process
Our standard employee information forms are designed to gather all the necessary details in one place. These forms are printable for free, allowing new employees to complete them at their convenience. This not only saves time but also ensures that all required information is collected accurately.
Unique and Important Details
In addition to the standard information, our forms include unique yet essential items such as:
Clothing Sizes: For companies that provide employee uniforms, knowing the correct sizes from the start ensures that employees receive well-fitting attire, promoting comfort and professionalism.
Languages: In our multicultural world, understanding the languages spoken by employees helps in effective communication and fostering an inclusive workplace.
While these forms are invaluable during the onboarding process, it's equally important to have employees update their information regularly. Keeping employee records current is essential for several reasons:
Accurate Submissions to SARS: Up-to-date information ensures compliance with tax regulations and smooth submissions to the South African Revenue Service (SARS).
Adapt to Changes: Employees may experience changes in their personal information, such as addresses or contact details. Regular updates help maintain accurate records.
Enhanced Communication: Knowing the latest contact information and language preferences helps improve communication within the organisation.
How openHR Makes It Easy
With openHR, businesses can effortlessly manage employee information. Our system allows you to load all data, track updates, and ensure compliance with ease. This streamlined process not only saves time but also enhances the overall efficiency of your HR operations. Print yours today from Employees and then the information sheet button.

🛡️ How to Survive Tariffs Like Trump Survived an Assassination: A Guide for South African Employers
In July 2024, former U.S. President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally — a moment that stunned the world and underscored his reputation for defiance under pressure.
