Starting a new job is exciting and a little scary. Warehouse work is one of the fastest-growing jobs in India, and the first week sets the tone for everything after.
Here is what most new associates go through in their first seven days, and how to make each one count.
Nobody is fast in week one. The people who grow are the ones who keep asking questions.
Day one to day three
Expect paperwork, a safety briefing and a site walk on day one. Carry your Sainyk ID, Aadhaar and bank details — it makes joining much quicker.
On days two and three you will shadow an experienced teammate. Ask questions. Nobody expects you to know the scanner or the racks on the first day.
Shifts and your first salary
Your shift timing, overtime rate and pay date should be written in your offer. If anything feels unclear, ask your supervisor or call our helpline.
Most employers pay on a fixed date each month. Keep your payslips — they help with loans, rent and your next job.
Your centre manager can explain it in your language and sort it out with you — free.
Questions people ask
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes and closed shoes. Safety shoes and vests are usually provided.
What if my shift is changed?
Shift changes should be informed in advance. Speak to your supervisor or our team if not.
