How to Add a New Hire

IT · Complete setup: email + manual access + role assignment

Purpose

Technical workflow so that when a new employee joins, they have everything configured correctly from day 1: email, public manual access, assigned role for curriculum track, and (if applicable) technical manual access.

Time: 15-20 min total  ·  Who: Yami or Pablo

Steps

1Create email in Google Workspace

Go to admin.google.com → Users → Add new user.

BrandaCare naming convention:

  • Regular employee: firstnamelastinitial@brandacare.com (e.g. mariag@brandacare.com)
  • If collision: add more letters from last name (e.g. mariagomez@brandacare.com)
  • Devs: full name or initials accepted (e.g. manuelgv@, ferrerpetitsantiago@)

Send them temp password and login link. Check "force password change on first login".

2Decide the role

TypeRole to assignHighlighted track in TRN-ONB-001
Multi-functional (IV + Billing)'multi-track'No highlight, sees everything
Dedicated Insurance Verification'iv-junior'Track A highlighted
Dedicated Billing'billing-junior'Track B highlighted
Billing Expert (appeals)'billing-expert'Track C highlighted
Developer'developer'Tech section
Reception / Front Desk'front-desk'Foundation only
Yami or Pablo'admin'Sees everything + technical access

Current default for new hires: 'multi-track' (current team works like this).

3Add to role-config.js

In your local repo, edit docs/brand/role-config.js:

'mariag@brandacare.com':              'multi-track', // Maria G. — IV + Billing

Keep alignment with spaces for readability.

4(Optional) If they get technical manual access

Admins/devs only. Edit docs-tecnico/brand/auth.jsALLOWED_EMAILS array:

'mariag@brandacare.com',           // Maria G. (admin)

Also update docs-tecnico/INDEX.html in the "Current Allowlist" table.

5Re-deploy both manuals

Drag-drop:

  • docs/ → Netlify site for public manual
  • docs-tecnico/ → Netlify site for technical manual (only if you modified the auth allowlist)

6Send to the new hire

Welcome email with:

  • Manual URL: https://manual.brandacare.com
  • Their Google Workspace credentials
  • Suggest they start with TRN-ONB-002 Welcome + Culture, then TRN-ONB-001 Curriculum
  • Tell them in the manual they'll see "YOUR TRACK" highlighted per their role (if not multi-track)
  • Send them the bio questionnaire to complete (TRN-ONB-003 placeholder)

Shared email

The email treatment@brandacare.com is the shared inbox the team uses to coordinate. It's already mapped as 'multi-track' — anyone using it enters the public manual and sees everything.
