Get ready before you leave

A practical first-shift checklist

Before your first shift, confirm your start time, entrance, parking instructions, and role-specific uniform with the approved local instructions or your manager. Bring the items your location requires and use your assigned sign-in method. This Northstar example does not establish parking, uniform, or device rules for any real location.

  • Check the location and start-time details provided for your assignment.
  • Confirm what clothing or uniform is required for your role.
  • Ask where to meet your shift lead if that information was not included.

When you arrive

Follow the local instructions for your assigned site.

  1. 1

    Check the location instructions

    Confirm the correct entrance, arrival time, and site-specific directions from your approved source.

  2. 2

    Park and enter as directed

    Use the parking and entrance instructions for your location. Do not assume another site's directions apply.

  3. 3

    Clock in using the approved method

    Use Time & Attendance and follow your location's confirmed clock-in instructions. If the method is unclear, ask the designated local support role before starting work.

  4. 4

    Confirm your shift lead

    Use your team's approved local route to identify the shift lead for your shift and ask where to go next.
