A new hire needs a working computer
Accounts, applications, and access still need to be configured before the employee can begin productive work.
Per-employee event
New employee device setup for company computers
Prepare one employee using an approved checklist—either a one-time application and access list or standards from Device Operations Setup. You approve the plan; we coordinate execution, verification, and documentation so HR or leadership is not managing every step.
- Ops not required first
- Fixed launch pricing
- You keep passwords
When New Employee Device Setup helps
Use this when one employee needs a prepared company computer and your organization can approve a clear checklist for that hire. You are paying for a ready, verified, documented handoff—not merely installing applications.
A replacement or reassigned device is required
An employee needs a rebuilt or newly assigned computer without an extended period of informal internal support.
Retail setup does not cover the business environment
The requirement is approved business access and a completion record, not a basic store setup that installs a few applications.
What’s included
One employee prepared on one primary computer against an approved checklist, with verification and a written completion summary.
Approved environment ready
Applications, email, storage, and security settings prepared against the agreed one-time checklist or existing role standards.
Coordinated execution
Session coordination with the employee and administrator while they operate the device and enter credentials.
Verified handoff
Included items checked, device assignment recorded, and exceptions documented for follow-up.
You approve the checklist. We prepare the computer.
Device Operations Setup is not required. A one-time approved list for this hire is enough. If you already have role standards, we follow those. We help clarify this employee’s requirements—we do not design your company-wide device process in this engagement.
You approve
- Who’s starting, their role, and which computer
- Apps, accounts, and folders they need
- Who can create accounts and approve access
- Password manager, MFA, and any migration needs
We handle
- Confirm the checklist and schedule the session
- Coordinate the remote setup with your employee and admin
- Verify included apps and access work
- Record the device and send a completion summary
If every hire means rediscovering requirements, or devices and access are inconsistent across the company, start with Device Operations Setup instead. You can still request an urgent employee setup when that hire’s checklist is clear.
Who this engagement is for
Clear criteria so organizations can determine suitability before requesting setup.
Recommended when
One employee computer can be prepared under clear authority
Someone can unlock the device, approve a one-time checklist or existing role profile, and join a guided remote session with an authorized administrator available as needed.
- Company computer for a new hire, contractor, role change, or replacement.
- A known or definable approved application and access list for this employee.
- An administrator available for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or other listed systems.
Not recommended when
Hardware recovery, open-ended support, or company-wide design is the real need
This service does not replace hardware repair, forensic recovery, unlimited help desk coverage, or Device Operations Setup.
- Hardware failure or data recovery is the primary problem.
- No authorized contact is available to approve account changes.
- Requirements must be invented across roles and procedures rather than approved for this hire.
- Ongoing remote support after day one is required without defined service limits.

Common questions
Is requesting employee setup free?
Yes. Submitting a request is free. Published package pricing applies after we confirm the employee, device, approved checklist, administrator, and timing meet the service limits.
How is this different from managed IT?
This is a fixed-price device-operations or employee-transition project with defined deliverables—not a monthly per-user retainer, infrastructure administration, or continuous help desk.
Do you collect or store our passwords?
No. Company contacts and employees enter passwords and MFA themselves. Credentials are not retained.
When is payment due?
Payment is requested after the included work for that engagement is confirmed. Requests and the Initial Consultation have no cost.
How is this different from retail computer setup?
Retail setup makes a machine operational and may install a few applications. This engagement prepares the employee’s approved business environment, verifies included items, and delivers a completion record—so internal staff are not coordinating every step.
Is Device Operations Setup required first?
No. You can request employee setup with a one-time approved application and access list. If you already have documented role profiles and device procedures, we follow those. If requirements are inconsistent or need to be created across the company, Device Operations Setup may be the better first step.
What if company procedures are not documented yet?
A single setup can still proceed when a manager can clearly approve the checklist for that employee. We can organize the information needed for that hire, but we do not use the $450 engagement to design the company’s entire technology process—that belongs in Device Operations Setup.
Can several employees be prepared at once?
Yes. Three or more employees are priced as a coordinated project so preparation and documentation are handled together. Clear requirements for each role are still required; volume alone does not require Device Operations Setup.
Request employee setup
Share the employee, assigned computer, approved applications or role profile, and whether migration is needed. We’ll confirm fit and schedule after review. Do not include passwords.
