Onboarding and Offboarding Checklist App (UAE)

A new hire or a leaver needs the same twenty small things done by five different people, and the list usually lives in someone's head or in a WhatsApp thread. When one item is missed, the laptop is not returned, the access card stays active or the employee turns up on day one with no login. This app keeps the lists, dates them from one anchor date and shows who is late.

How it works: you keep templates by role (office, sales and field, warehouse and driver, standard exit, exit with visa steps). Each task has an owner role (HR, Line manager, IT, Finance, PRO/Admin, Employee), a category and a due offset in days from the anchor date. Start a case for a person, type the start date (onboarding) or last working day (offboarding) as DD/MM/YYYY, and every task gets its own due date. Optionally a due date that falls on your weekend moves to the next working day.

What is inside:

• Five editable example templates (starting lists, not legal requirements) plus your own, with reorder, duplicate and CSV import of tasks
• Cases with owner names, notes, done ticks, completion % and overdue counts per person
• Dashboard: open cases, overdue tasks and tasks due in the next 7 days grouped by owner role, with a filter by role or owner name
• Offboarding clearance form for A4: sign-off lines for HR, IT, Finance, Line manager and Admin, asset return table, final settlement checklist with no amounts, signature lines
• Asset list per case (item, tag or serial, issued, returned, condition) with a warning for items not yet returned
• Batch print of every open checklist, one page each; CSV export of tasks and assets; JSON backup and restore
• Example data you can load and clear, and an Instructions page inside the app

Who it is for: owners, HR officers and office managers of small and mid-size UAE companies who onboard and offboard staff a few times a month and want nothing to slip.

What it is NOT: the task lists are examples to edit, not a statement of what UAE law or MOHRE requires. Permit, visa, Emirates ID and labour card steps are listed only as items to handle with your PRO. It does not calculate or pay a final settlement, does not send reminders, and does not connect to any government system or payroll. Your data lives in this browser on this device, so export a backup regularly.

Neighbour: Zeyto's Employee Onboarding Pack is a set of documents. This is a working app with dates, owners, progress tracking and a clearance form.

Verified by scripted Chromium tests (38 UI assertions across templates, dated cases, leap days, weekend variants, CSV import with bad rows, printing to PDF, backup and restore) and an independent Python model that matched 341 task due dates, completion percentages and overdue counts across 60 random cases. A WebKit run of the same flow passed; Firefox could not be launched in the test environment, so it was not tested. Not tested in Microsoft Edge or on a physical phone.
