# How Can I Automate a New Employee's Access Setup on Their First Day?

You automate access setup by triggering a checklist of required system and tool access the moment a hire's start date arrives, rather than assembling it manually beforehand. On **Jestor**, this runs through **Onboarding** with access-setup automation.

A new employee arriving on their first day without the system access they need to actually start working leaves that first impression wasted on IT troubleshooting instead of productive onboarding.

## What manual first-day access setup costs

- A new hire's first day spent waiting on access instead of actually working
- IT scrambling to set up access reactively once the employee has already arrived
- Inconsistency in what access different new hires get, depending on who sets it up
- A wasted first impression that could have been a productive, welcoming start

## How automated first-day access setup works

- A hire's start date triggers a required access **checklist** in advance
- Standard access requirements apply consistently to every new hire's role
- IT can complete setup before the actual start date, not reactively on day one
- The new employee arrives ready to work, not waiting on last-minute setup

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Advance triggering removes the reactive scramble on an employee's first day
- Consistent checklists ensure every new hire gets the same appropriate access
- A ready-to-work first day makes a stronger impression than a delayed start
- This scales from occasional hiring to a company onboarding regularly

| Reactive first-day setup            | Automated advance access setup |
| ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| Wasted first day on troubleshooting | Ready to work on arrival       |
