Onboarding and Offboarding

Onboarding

Nothing starts before the agreement: sign your Independent Contractor or Internship Agreement first, counter-signed by a founder. Then, in order:

1. Email group. You are added to the relevant @cuesoft.io group for your engagement; formal and sensitive correspondence lives on email.
2. Your channel. Contractors join Slack; CueLABS™ interns join the Discord community. Set your real name and a recognisable photo, and join the channels for your team and project.
3. GitHub. Send your username to the CTO to be added to the cuesoftinc organisation with the access your work needs — least privilege, per the cybersecurity policy.
4. Project tracker. Client work lives on Linear (CueHIRE™); the open-source products live on GitHub Projects (CueLABS™). You will be invited to the tracker your work uses (see project management).
5. Read the handbook — particularly values, your engagement page (contractors or internships), and the policies.

Never send anyone your password for any service — no legitimate Cuesoft process asks for one.

Offboarding

When an engagement ends (completion, expiry or termination):

• Access is revoked the same day: email group, Slack or Discord, Linear, GitHub, cloud consoles and any client systems.
• All work product, documentation and company materials are handed over before the final milestone is closed out.
• Company property, where issued, is returned per your agreement.
• Confidentiality and IP assignment survive the engagement — leaving does not end them.
