First impressions matter. Last impressions matter more.
Structured onboarding that gets new employees productive and compliant from day one. Clean offboarding that protects your business.
The short answer
Onboarding and offboarding is the structured process of bringing a new employee into an Australian SME and exiting a departing one — covering employment documentation and Award classification, payroll and superannuation setup, probation tracking, and a clean exit with final pay, equipment return and system-access removal. At Valont it is one function of a connected back office, run inside the people function and coordinated with operations so each hire and departure is consistent and compliant from day one.

The chaos of new hires and departures.
A new employee starts on Monday. You spend Friday scrambling to find a contract template, set up their email, figure out their Award classification, and prepare their workspace. Monday arrives and you are still sorting out their super choice form.
Two weeks later, you realise their tax file declaration was never lodged and their Award classification might be wrong. And when people leave? Unstructured. Ad hoc. Last-minute rushes to calculate final pay, equipment not returned, system access not revoked.
